Background: Energy-based cutting tools combine cutting and haemostasis, making them widely utilised. Accurately predicting tissue deformation during energy-based cutting can provide precise navigation information to enhance surgical outcomes, while existing surgical cutting models focussing on blades-based tools are unable to accurately predict energy cutting deformation.
Methods: This paper aims to propose a novel energy cutting model under different cutting trajectories. First, a stratified discontinuity mechanism-based modelling method of energy cutting is proposed. Second, a parameterised impact zone model is developed for describing complex surgical manipulations using intraoperative trajectories. Third, an incremental cutting computation algorithm and a novel void enrichment function are proposed to enhance the computational efficiency.
Results: The mean absolute deformation errors of numerical and experimental results under various of cutting trajectories are less than 1 mm. The computation efficiency and convergence are also validated.
Conclusions: The desired cutting deformation accuracy is achieved robustly while maintaining computation efficiency.

Thermocatalytic recycling of plastics is typically constrained by high energy input requirements, resulting in poor economic efficiency and necessitating the utilization of light power. Indeed, photothermal catalysis offers several advantages over traditional photocatalysis and enables more efficient use of light energy. In this study, unique octahedral spinel-structured cobalt manganese oxide (CoMnO) catalysts are prepared.

In this study, molecular dynamics simulations were implemented to investigate the atomic-level interactions of three different biopolymers (Gum Tragacanth, pectin, and carrageenan) on FeO nanoparticles. The main purpose was to achieve a deep understanding of the adsorption dynamics between these biopolymers and magnetic nanoparticle. In this respect, initially, the adsorption models were simulated under NVT conditions, and consequently, in-depth analyses of interaction energies, concentration profiles, and radial distribution functions were conducted.

Effective wound management demands advanced dressings that protect while actively supporting healing. Traditional wound dressings often fall short of meeting the complex needs of skin repair. Inspired by the regenerative abilities of starfish, we developed a bionically engineered hydrogel designed to enhance wound healing.
