Multi‐material and dual‐stimulus coupled actuation micro‐gears for shape–rotation control in intelligent micro‐electro‐mechanical systems

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
A multi‐material and dual‐stimulus coupled actuation micro‐gear (MDCAMG) is developed via femtosecond‐laser 3D printing combined with magnetic nanoparticle absorption, enabling integrated environmental sensing and remote actuation at the microscale. The device incorporates a pH‐responsive hydrogel matrix for autonomous swelling/shrinking and a magnetic

Dynamic Tribological Behavior of Surface-Textured Bushings in External Gear Pumps: A CFD Investigation

open access: yesActuators
This study investigates the dynamic behavior of the suction-side lubrication gap between bushing and gear in external gear pumps (EGPs), with emphasis on how surface texturing and bushing micromotion influence the effective stiffness and damping of the ...

Microoptomechanical pumps assembled and driven by holographic optical vortex arrays

open access: yes, 2004
Beams of light with helical wavefronts can be focused into ring-like optical traps known as optical vortices. The orbital angular momentum carried by photons in helical modes can be transferred to trapped mesoscopic objects and thereby coupled to a ...

Unintended Consequences of Life‐Saving Pharmaceutical Innovations: How HAART Led to the Resurgence of Syphilis

open access: yesHealth Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection that can lead to serious health complications, was almost eliminated in the United States by 2000. But since then, its incidence began to increase, recently reaching a 60‐year peak. We suggest that the introduction of the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) drug regimen, which transformed HIV
