Double Helix Structure for Stable Flexural Actuation in Soft Robotics

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work introduces a double‐helical architecture for soft robotic actuators that enhances twisting resistance, increases output force, and minimizes undesired deformation. Actuators driven by shape‐memory alloy wires exhibit a roughly fivefold higher torsional/flexural stiffness ratio and 50% greater force output.

Research on Blade Asynchronous Vibration Parameter Identification for Large-Scale Centrifugal Compressor Based on Improved MUSIC Algorithm

Sensors
Blade tip timing (BTT) is a core technique for investigating the blade vibration of large-scale centrifugal compressors, and identifying the parameters of blade asynchronous vibration is crucial for implementing blade condition monitoring based on the ...

Lab‐Scale Fabrication Process Selection for Soft Robotics: Benchmarking, Tradeoffs, and Guidelines for Formative Manufacturing of Soft Silicone Components

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Fabrication shapes soft robot performance, but benchmarking data and selection guidelines remain scarce. We fabricate silicone actuators using two molding techniques and three mold types, characterizing them with cycle testing, microscopy, profilometry, and 3D imaging. Applying our lab‐scale, soft robotics‐specific fabrication evaluation criteria shows

Vibrations measurements for shrouded blades of steam turbines based oneddy current sensors with high frequency response

Journal of Measurement Science and Instrumentation, 2019
With the development of power plants towards high power and intelligent operation direction, the vibrations or failures of blades, especially the last stage blades in steam turbines, happen more frequently due to the unstable operating conditions brought

In Vivo Nb4C3Tx MXene‐Assisted Photothermal Therapy of Melanoma in Mice

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Nb4C3Tx MXene converts pulsed 1064 nm irradiation into localized heat, producing concentration‐ and time‐dependent melanoma cell killing in vitro and suppressing tumor growth in mice. Histology reveals extensive tumor damage, macrophage‐associated material clearance, and no detectable persistent deposits in examined visceral organs, supporting Nb4C3Tx ...

Hybrid Inertial–Centrifugal Gas–Liquid Separator: CFD‐Driven Optimization Using Coupled Discrete Phase and Wall‐Film Modeling With Response Surface Methodology

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient removal of liquid aerosols from compressed gas streams is essential in chemical and energy processes. Conventional separators relying on a single mechanism (inertial or centrifugal) struggle to capture both fine and coarse droplets simultaneously.

Dicarboxymethyl Cellulose‐Based Mixed‐Matrix Membrane Adsorbers: Preparation, Characterization, and Protein Retention Performance

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Dicarboxymethyl cellulose is incorporated, for the first time, into a polyethersulfone membrane. The functional membranes are prepared using dimethyl isosorbide through combined non‐solvent and vapor‐induced phase separation. The resulting membranes exhibit porous structures and protein‐retention potential, highlighting the potential of this cellulose ...

Evolutionary radiation of large‐bodied gorgonopsians from the lower Abrahamskraal formation of South Africa

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The middle Permian represents a critical interval in therapsid evolution, when gorgonopsians emerged as some of the first specialized apex predators within terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their significance, the early diversification of Gorgonopsia in Gondwana remains poorly understood due to scarcity and fragmentary material.

Morpho‐functional analyses of the jaw apparatus in the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna, Psittaciformes, Aves): Adaptations to feeding behavior

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Macaws are renowned for processing dry, mechanically resistant fruits, yet the species‐level anatomical and functional correlates of this performance remain incompletely resolved. We examined the feeding apparatus of the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) using an integrated approach that combines osteology, myology, and bite‐force estimates
