Beyond Dexterity: Navigating the Trade‐Offs of Steerable Catheter‐ and Guidewire‐Based Endovascular Robotics for Clinical Applications

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Steerable catheters and guidewires enable precise navigation and intervention in complex vascular anatomies. This review systematically examines their steering mechanisms, including morphological, transmission‐based, and transduction‐based actuation, highlighting their underlying principles and engineering characteristics.

Monoclinic elastic and piezoelectric properties of Rochelle salt. Description within the modified Mitsui model

open access: yesCondensed Matter Physics, 2005
We propose a modification of the two-sublattice Mitsui model that takes into account a coupling with diagonal components of the strain tensor. Within the developed model, we calculate the piezoelectric and elastic characteristics of Rochelle salt related

Optical‐Field Engineering and Instrumentation in Brillouin Microscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, Volume 7, Issue 11, November 2026.
Brillouin microscopy provides label‐free mechanical contrast through gigahertz light–acoustic interactions. This Review examines how optical‐field engineering and instrument architecture shape spectral precision, acquisition throughput, background rejection, spatial performance, and optical exposure.

Breaking the strain–symmetry trade-off via electrostriction-mediated reversible phase transition in B-site-engineered BNKT-based ceramics

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Ceramics
Achieving large electrostrain together with a symmetric bipolar response remains challenging in lead-free piezoceramics, as mechanisms that generate large strain often involve irreversible polarization processes that limit strain reversibility.

Revealing the role of the constant phase element in relaxor ferroelectrics

open access: yesCommunications Physics, 2022
Relaxor ferroelectrics are a type of material exhibiting electrostriction whereby a change in the material shape occurs under an applied electric field; however, although known by the community for many years the underlying mechanisms of the phenomenon ...

Optimization of Fully Screen‐Printed Electrostrictive Multilayer Actuators

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 11, November 2026.
The impact of geometric parameters on the blocking force and the bending angle of electrostrictive P(VDF‐ter‐TrFE‐ter‐CTFE) monolayer actuators is extensively studied in order to guide their choice. The 4.7 %mol CTFE composition shows great interest in multilayer actuators.

Embedded Ferroelectric Nanoclusters Can Drive Polarization Reversal in a Non‐Ferroelectric Polar Film via the Proximity Effect

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 81, 8 October 2026.
Ferroelectric nanoclusters create local internal fields in a normally non‐switchable polar film because of polarization mismatch at their interfaces. That field opposes polarization in the regions with larger polarization and reinforces polarization in the regions with smaller polarization.
