There has been a recent wave of interest in understanding the mental processes underlying - our ability to apprehend the physical structure of the world and anticipate how objects will behave as a scene's dynamics unfold. While work to uncover the neural mechanisms of intuitive physics is just in its beginnings, vibrant lines of neuropsychological research are investigating the many facets of cognition intimately linked with the 'physics engine in the mind'. This special issue brings together a collection of papers that delve into the interactions between intuitive physics and related domains such as audiovisual scene analysis, action planning, and decision making, providing a view of the larger landscape of mental processes that allow us to predict how physical events will unfold in the next moments and plan our behaviors accordingly.

A leading approach to algorithm design aims to minimize the number of operations in an algorithm's compilation. One intuitively expects that reducing the number of operations may decrease the chance of errors. This paradigm is particularly prevalent in quantum computing, where gates are hard to implement and noise rapidly decreases a quantum computer's potential to outperform classical computers.

As the most common and lethal cancer of the female gonads, ovarian cancer (OC) has a grave impact on people's health. OC is asymptomatic, insidious in onset, difficult to diagnose and treat, fast-growing, and easy to metastasize and has poor prognosis and high mortality. How to detect OC as early as possible and treat it without side effects has become a challenging medical problem.

HER2-targeted therapies have shown clinical activity against these tumor types, resulting in regulatory approvals. However, the efficacy of HER2 therapies in tumors with HER2 mutations has not been widely investigated.

The mechanical coupling between molecules represents a promising route for the development of molecular machines. Constructing molecular gears requires easily rotatable and mutually interlocked pinions. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), it is demonstrated that aluminum phthalocyanine (AlPc) molecules on Pb(100) exhibit these properties.

Recently, computer vision methods have been widely applied to agricultural tasks, such as robotic harvesting. In particular, fruit harvesting robots often rely on object detection or segmentation to identify and localize target fruits. During the model selection process for object detection, the average precision (AP) score typically provides the de facto standard.
