Advanced Surfactant-Modified Wet Anisotropic Etching
In the area of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS), bulk micromachining and surface micromachining are two main technologies. Bulk micromachining defines structures by selectively etching inside a substrate while surface micromachining uses a succession of thin film deposition and selective etching on top of a substrate.

Conductive Bonding and System Architectures for High‐Performance Flexible Electronics
This review outlines bonding technologies and structural design strategies that support high‐performance flexible and stretchable electronics. Bonding approaches such as surface‐activated bonding and anisotropic conductive films, together with system‐level architectures including buffer layers and island‐bridge structures, possess distinct mechanical ...

Assessment of unsaturated behavior of Gorgan loessial soil under anisotropic triaxial compression in medium suctions range [PDF]
Collapsible soils, such as loess, are classified as problematic soils and are usually stable in unsaturated conditions in nature. However, when they are exposed to a moisture increase, especially under an applied load, they undergo a sudden decrease in ...

Using Anisotropic Micro-Scale Topography to Manipulate the Wettability of Aluminum and Reduce the Retention of Water [PDF]
A method is described for fabricating controlled micro-scale, topographical features on aluminum surfaces for the purpose of exploiting those features to affect the surface wettability.

Wetting of crossed fibers: multiple steady states and symmetry breaking
We investigate the wetting properties of the simplest element of an array of random fibers: two rigid fibers crossing with an inclination angle and in contact with a droplet of a perfectly wetting liquid.

Simulation of anisotropic wet-chemical etching using a physical model [PDF]
We present a method to describe the orientation dependence of the etch rate in anisotropic etching solutions of silicon, or any other single crystalline material, by analytical functions. The parameters in these functions have a simple physical meaning.

Drug‐Free Thrombolysis Mediated by Physically Activated Micro/Nanoparticles
Overview of particle‐mediated thrombolytic effects (thermal, mechanical, and chemical) and their activating physical stimuli (light, ultrasound, and magnetic field) in drug‐free thrombolysis. ABSTRACT Thrombus‐associated disorders rank among the world's leading causes of death, with ischemic heart disease and stroke as the main contributors.

Cephalopod‐inspired photonic microparticles with dynamic structural coloration are fabricated via confined self‐assembly of linear block copolymers into ellipsoids containing stacked lamellae. Embedded superparamagnetic nanoparticles enable rapid magnetic alignment, restoring vivid, angle‐dependent color.

A fully-coupled discontinuous Galerkin method for two-phase flow in porous media with discontinuous capillary pressure [PDF]
In this paper we formulate and test numerically a fully-coupled discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for incompressible two-phase flow with discontinuous capillary pressure. The spatial discretization uses the symmetric interior penalty DG formulation with
