A key differentiator from early research is that Cassie was developed to be emotionally responsive, using facial recognition to read the user’s expressions and adjust its tone accordingly.
In a recent article published in Engineering, researchers Li Guo and Jinghai Li from the Chinese Academy of Sciences explore the future development of artificial intelligence (AI), emphasizing the need for consistency in the logical structures of datasets, AI models, model-building software, and hardware. They argue that while current AI systems excel at handling statistical properties of complex systems, they face challenges in effectively representing spatiotemporal complexity patterns. The authors propose integrating principles of multilevel complexity into AI development to enhance its functionality and reliability in engineering applications.
Perovskite-structured BaFe0.4Co0.4Zr0.1Y0.1O3-δ (BFCZY) exhibits proton-electron-oxygen ion triple conductions and high catalytic activity of oxygen reduction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at low temperatures. Although it has stability problems in a humid air environment, the degradation mechanism of BFCZY and the influences of temperature, steam content and polarization on its stability have been rarely studied. The activity and stability of the BFCZY oxygen electrode are significantly improved through heterointerface engineering by infiltrating the BaCoO3 (BCO) catalyst. It is imperative to fill this research gap, as it is crucial for promoting the commercial development of reversible protonic ceramic electrochemical cells (R-PCECs).
Clinical photothermal therapy continues to encounter significant challenges, including systemic toxicity risks associated with intravenous drug administration and inadequate photothermal specificity in the targeted lesion area, particularly concerning the prevention of bone tumor recurrence. To address these issues, this study developed a photothermal functional composite bioceramic scaffold that integrates a Si3N4 matrix known for its excellent antibacterial properties, black glass SiOC exhibiting photothermal characteristics, and bone-inductive graphene oxide (GO). A mapping model was established to correlate the properties of the GO/KH570-H/Si3N4 precursor slurry with the parameters of the SLA additive manufacturing process. Following sintering at 1300 ℃, a GO/SiOC/Si3N4 composite ceramic was successfully obtained. Under irradiation with 808 nm near-infrared light at an intensity of 1 W/cm², the temperature of the leather-coated composite scaffold reached 47.8 ℃ within 10 minutes. This innovative approach presents a promising solution for precise photothermal therapy in postoperative bone tumor repair.
