Surfactant Assemblies Directing Chemical Transfer Cascades in Convective Marangoni Flow Pumps
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Convective Marangoni flow pumps allow for chemical transfer cascades amongst droplets that are positioned at the air/water interface. The system comprises of myelins progressing along surface tension gradients, delivering amphiphiles at oil droplets and thereby triggering the emission of emulsified microdroplets, which in turn follow the Marangoni ...

Soft Electromagnetic Actuator and Oscillator
Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.This work presents a groundbreaking soft electromagnetic system capable of bistable actuation and self‐regulated oscillation. Using liquid metal and silicone as a compliant conductor, the actuator enables force generation, sensing, and feedback with minimal power.

Jefferson Surgeon Performs Minimally Invasive Robotic Mitral Valve Repair [PDF]
, 2012 Routine physical exams often reveal the presence of a heart murmur, which can be the first sign of mitral valve prolapse. Typically diagnosed with an echocardiogram, mitral valve prolapse is a condition in which the valve separating the upper and lower ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.This article demonstrates that encasing a hyperelastic balloon in an inextensible sleeve greatly increases its burst pressure. This simple mechanical behavior can be used to produce an asymmetric inflation‐deflation sequence for coupled balloons with different thicknesses so they could serve as a soft robot's rear and front anchors when driven from a ...

Computation of incompressible viscous flows through artificial heart devices with moving boundaries [PDF]
The extension of computational fluid dynamics techniques to artificial heart flow simulations is illustrated. Unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations written in 3-D generalized curvilinear coordinates are solved iteratively at each physical time ...

Mucosa‐Interfacing Capsule for In Situ Sensing the Elasticity of Biological Tissues
Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.A fundamental mechanism of palpating soft materials is reported to sense deep tissue elasticity in situ with minimal invasion using the interaction between the robot palpation unit and soft tissues. Both the robot locomotion and elasticity sensing functions are remotely controlled by external magnetic fields, while the sensing data are wirelessly ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Molybdenum hexafluoride as a pretreatment is able to create a chemical contrast between SiN and SiO2 surfaces via selective fluorine passivation of the oxide. One dose of MoF6 enabled 9.7 nm of selective deposited TiO2 on SiN versus SiO2 with selectivity >0.92 on a nanoscale SiN/SiO2 patterned surface.
