Interaction‐Driven Assembly Pathways in Heterogeneous Active Microrobotic Systems

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Peanut‐ and cube‐shaped light‐powered microrobots exhibit distinct magnetic and photocatalytic responses that determine their heterogeneous self‐assembly. In the dark, magnetic dipole interactions drive colloidal copolymerization with cubes acting as nucleation centers, whereas under light irradiation, phoretic interactions compete with magnetic ...

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Stability of Medicinal Nanoemulsions to Spaceflight: Insights From the StarMed Experiment

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Chitosan‐coated melatonin nanoemulsions (MN) recovered from a sounding rocket mission preserve droplet size and controlled‐release behavior, whereas uncoated nanoemulsions show ageing‐driven droplet growth and increased accessible drug fraction. Simple polymer coatings thus enhance the flight resilience of liquid space medicines under cumulative launch

Data-driven insights of flow over heated elliptic cylinders: Machine learning and CFD perspectives on non-Newtonian forced convection

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering
This study presents a comprehensive numerical and data-driven investigation of forced convection heat transfer and flow behavior of non-Newtonian fluids between two heated elliptic cylinders placed within a cold-walled channel. The simulations, conducted

Recent Advances in Ferrite‐Based Materials for Biomedical Applications: A Comprehensive Review

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ferrite nanoplatforms are presented as tunable biomedical materials in which synthesis control, cation engineering, defect/morphology regulation, and surface functionalization govern structure–property–bioactivity relationships. These design strategies enable multifunctional applications including MRI contrast, magnetic hyperthermia, targeted drug ...

Effect of Horizontal Magnetic Field and Horizontal Rotation on Thermosolutal Stability of a Dusty Couple-Stress Fluid through a Porous Medium: a Brinkman Model

Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2017
The problem of the onset of double diffusive convection in a couple-stress fluid saturated with a porous medium is studied under the effects of magnetic field, rotation and suspended dust particles.

Protein Corona Formation on Soft Nanocarriers Under Biomimetic Circulatory Flow

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A biomimetic venous circulation system is developed to study protein corona formation on soft nanocarriers under physiological shear. Liposomes, PLGA nanoparticles, and lipid‐polymer hybrid nanoparticles acquire largely shared but material‐dependent protein coronas that alter surface properties and suppress cellular uptake, highlighting the importance ...

Managing electrolyte flow boosts the efficiency of continuous oxime electrosynthesis to over 95%

Nature Communications
Electrified chemosynthesis shows great promise for sustainable chemical manufacturing. However, the reaction efficiency in continuous flow electrochemistry is currently unsatisfactory due to restricted mass transport at the two-phase boundary.

Fokker–Planck Model-Based Central Moment Lattice Boltzmann Method for Effective Simulations of Thermal Convective Flows

Energies
The Fokker–Planck (FP) equation represents the drift and diffusive processes in kinetic models. It can also be regarded as a model for the collision integral of the Boltzmann-type equation to represent thermo-hydrodynamic processes in fluids. The lattice

Wireless Precise Manipulation of Tumor Spheroids Using a Millirobot Controlled by Permanent Magnetic Traps

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A magnetic donut‐like millirobot is developed for label‐free pick‐and‐place of a tumor spheroid wirelessly controlled by a magnetic trap. Spheroids are important 3D multicellular culture systems that recapitulate key structural and functional features of native tissues.
