A BioLiving Periosteum Evokes Centripetal Regeneration in Challenging Bone Defects
Large bone defects often suffer from insufficient central healing. This study engineers a BioLiving periosteum that mimics the native structure. It sequentially delivers remote chemical cues and contact physical cues in a signaling‐relay manner, effectively recruiting and guiding endogenous cells toward the defect center.

An Implanted Tooth That Can Feel
To endow the implanted tooth with masticatory perception, herein we demonstrate that a 3D‐printed piezoelectric‐core/robust‐sheath implanted tooth can rebuild the sensing feedback, serving as “mechanoreceptors” in converting the mechanical chewing force to electrical signals, and up to brain through surrounding alveolar nerve system.

Numerical Analysis of the Piston Motion in a Free Piston Driver
A numerical analysis of a piston motion in a free piston driver has been conducted including a diaphragm rupture. Quasi-one-dimensional flow is assumed in the driver. Various losses, which are generated in a compression process, are simplified. A process of the diaphragm rupture is assumed by Outa’s model. Experiments are also conducted by using a free
