A constraint‐based analytical framework maps the coupled effects of material properties, structural parameters, and operating conditions in tubular dielectric elastomer pumps for extracorporeal circulatory applications. The approach defines performance boundaries through mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic constraints and identifies feasible design ...

Enhancement of Circular Dichroism in Chiral Dielectric Metasurfaces by Ion Beam Irradiation
Ion beam irradiation enables post fabrication tuning of dissipative losses in chiral dielectric metasurfaces composed of C4 symmetric silicon nanostructures. By tailoring the absorption toward critical coupling condition, circular dichroism is enhanced from 0.70 to 0.85, demonstrating a versatile route for maximizing optical chirality and polarization ...

Scalable Design and Optimization of Reconfigurable Sb2S3 Metasurfaces
Scalable optimization methodologies are developed for reconfigurable Sb2S3 Huygens metasurfaces by combining localized phase‐match and overlap‐integral cost functions that account for inter‐element coupling. The framework enables computationally efficient design of large‐area, dual‐state flat optical devices with arbitrary wavefront transformations ...

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify
