Acoustic Purcell effect induced by quasibound state in the continuum
We study theoretically and experimentally the acoustic Purcell effect induced by quasi-bound states in the continuum (quasiBICs). A theoretical framework describing the acoustic Purcell effect of a resonant system is developed based on the system’s ...

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract
We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a
