Bio‐Inspired Bidirectional Winding Origami With Programmable Modular Reconfigurability and Scalability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A bio‐inspired bidirectional‐winding origami platform enables scalable and programmable deployable structures. Double axial folding inspired by earwig hindwings and Flasher‐based hybridization create modular multilayer architectures with diverse attainable winding angles under fixed boundary conditions.

Experimental investigation of the effect of sudden expansion on density current inertia and mixing hydrodynamics

Ain Shams Engineering Journal
This study examines how sudden expansions (ratios: 2.6, 1.56, 1.08) affect inertia and ambient water entrainment in density currents to evaluate their potential for flow control.

From Circuits to Symphonies: A Systems‐Engineering Blueprint for Multimicrobial Synthetic Biology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Engineering synthetic microbial consortia requires moving beyond intracellular genetic circuits toward coordinated multicellular design. A modular systems‐engineering framework is presented that integrates communication, temporal coordination, ecological structuring, and predictive modeling to guide application‐dependent consortium design ...

Improved Direct Ink Writing of Liquid Metal Foams via Liquid Additives

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
The ability to pattern liquid metal is useful for making soft electrical and thermal devices. Dispensing liquid metal from a nozzle naturally results in the formation of spheroidal droplets, making direct‐write printing challenging. Liquid metal foams containing pockets of air can extrude as filaments, albeit inconsistently.

Flow characteristics and regime transitions in fluidization systems of Group C+ particles

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Fine and ultrafine particles are attractive for fluidized bed reactors because their high surface area benefits catalytic processes, but their cohesive nature complicates regime characterization. Nanoparticle modulation improves the flowability of Group C powders, yet their bubbling to turbulent transition remains unclear.

Segmented Therapeutic Delivery via Acoustic Microbubble Relay

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An acoustically driven, modular segmented delivery system is presented to overcome mechanical limitations of conventional microcatheters. Oscillating microbubbles generate directional streaming that enables continuous, targeted transport across open, angled segments.

Characterization of the Effects of Jet Radial Position on Entrainment Ratio in a Subsonic Ejector

, 2022
The work investigated an ejector-based intake, the Atlantis Intake System (AIS), in static conditions. A control volume (CV) analysis was presented and used to estimate the entrainment ratios of the AIS. The CV analysis also estimated momentum loss due to the jet’s interaction with the mixing chamber walls.

The Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases for Shift Workers in the Prospective Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Shift work can disrupt circadian rhythms and is postulated to play a role in cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In the German prospective population‐based Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study, we analyzed longitudinal associations between shift work and night‐shift work with CVD.
