A safety boundary wall in VR is a virtual barrier that defines a safe area, allowing users to navigate and interact without safety concerns. However, existing implementations neglect to utilize the safety boundary wall's large surface for displaying interactive information. In this work, we propose the BoundaryScreen technique based on the "walking outward" metaphor to add interactivity to the safety boundary wall. Specifically, we augment the safety boundary wall by placing the home screen on it. To summon the home screen, the user only needs to walk outward until it appears. Results showed that (i) participants significantly preferred BoundaryScreen in the outermost two-step-wide ring-shaped section of a circular safety area; and (ii) participants exhibited strong "behavioral inertia" for walking, i.e., after completing a routine activity involving constant walking, participants significantly preferred to use the walking-based BoundaryScreen technique to summon the home screen.

Silicon carbide (SiC) has attracted considerable interest for use in electronics, aerospace, and nuclear energy applications owing to its excellent electrical and mechanical properties. In the nuclear industry, SiC serves as an effective tritium permeation barrier. However, a significant discrepancy remains between the experimentally measured diffusion coefficients and the theoretical predictions.

Solid-state lithium-ion batteries have raised considerable attention due to their great potential for the development of new energy storage devices with high energy density and safety. However, enhancing ion conductivity in solid-state electrolytes stands as a pivotal challenge for the large-scale commercialization of next-generation lithium-ion batteries. Here, a high-pressure strategy is reported to achieve the significant enhancement of lithium-ion conductivity by 2 orders of magnitude and the disappearance of grain boundary resistance in polyoxometalate LiPWO electrolyte via an irreversible phase transition from Keggin to bronze structure.

The Chinese Society for Therapeutic Radiology Oncology, the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association, the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology, the Head and Neck Cancer International Group, the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology, and the American Society for Radiation Oncology collaboratively developed evidence-based guidelines and a comprehensive contouring atlas for neck target volume delineation in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. These guidelines address five key challenges in modern radiotherapy practice: margin design of clinical target volume; nodal target volume delineation after induction chemotherapy; delineation of equivocal nodes evident on imaging; low-risk clinical target volume delineation based on regional stepwise extension patterns; and modifications for anatomical boundaries of lymphatic areas. Developed through a rigorous systematic review and expert appraisal process by a panel of 50 international, multidisciplinary members from 17 countries and regions, these guidelines incorporate the latest advances in nasopharyngeal carcinoma diagnosis and treatment.

Open-channel water transfer projects play a crucial role in addressing regional water supply-demand imbalances, and real-time, comprehensive, and accurate acquisition of their hydrodynamic spatiotemporal evolution is essential for ensuring safety and efficiency of water conveyance and optimizing scheduling strategies. While hydraulic monitoring systems and numerical simulations are potential solutions, the former struggles to balance the number of monitoring points with cost constraints to achieve comprehensive and economically feasible measurements, and the latter requires clear boundary conditions and key parameters that often pose challenges in practical scenarios. This paper presents a Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN)-based method applied to predicting hydraulic transients in open channels, incorporating sparse monitoring data and physical laws.
