Design and Modeling of a High‐Displacement, Skin‐Integrated Flexible Electromagnetic Actuator for Haptic Interfaces in Virtual Reality

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A flexible, skin‐integrated electromagnetic actuator is developed for wearable virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR) haptic systems. A tunable design model enables control over displacement and resonance frequency. The system is validated through a custom VR application with a 6 × 4 actuator array, demonstrating real‐time, spatially targeted tactile ...

BrCER1 intron mutation causing a wax deficient phenotype in Chinese cabbage

BMC Plant Biology
Background Cuticular wax is one of the most important substances that cover the aerial parts of most plants and protect them from biotic and abiotic stresses. Plants lacking wax powder on their surface are more popular in terms of appearance and quality.
