Discovery of Peripheral Airway Beyond Incomplete CT Annotations for Navigational Bronchoscopy
Navigational bronchoscopy relies on patient-specific airway maps derived from preoperative CT to plan and guide access to peripheral lung lesions. However, public CT airway datasets often contain incomplete annotations, especially in thin, low-contrast distal branches, so conventional deep-learning ...

Homoepitaxy-like heteroepitaxy via monolayer interface achieves grain-boundary-free ultraflat silver thin films
Wafer-scale growth of metallic films into single crystals is challenging due to large lattice mismatches and uncontrollable atomic stacking during deposition. Here, single-crystalline Ag(111) films are grown on atomically flat Cu(111) buffer layers using atomic sputtering epitaxy, despite the signif...

Developing Light-Activated Tissue Adhesive Patch for Rapid, Watertight Neurosurgical Sealing
Durotomy, a tear in the dura mater, is a common complication in neurosurgical procedures. The dura mater is a tough protective membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, safeguarding the central nervous system. When this membrane is damaged, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can leak, leading to com...
