Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Electroadhesion (EA) Suction Cups are electrically operated soft grippers that can pick up a wide range of objects from the top. A soft membrane, driven by electrostatic forces, conforms to surfaces, creating a passive vacuum when lifted. EA suction cups eliminate bulky vacuum systems, offering a compact, efficient, and portable alternative for ...

Mechanistic Insights into the Surface Instabilities of TiNb2O7, a High‐Power Li‐Ion Anode
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.TiNb2O7 is an attractive anode for Li‐ion batteries, particularly when safety is of the highest concern. However, despite operating at high potentials, electrolyte degradation is a major concern. It is demonstrated that throughout the entire charge‐discharge cycle a number of surface reactions occur which both produce gas and result in Ti dissolution ...

Future of heart valve surgery [PDF]
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Supplements, 2004 In highly developed nations, valve surgery will be increasing applied in older people, with more co-morbidities and a higher incidence of concomitant coronary artery disease. Valve surgeons will be facing increased competition from the catheter-based procedures, both for valve repair and replacement; these are already applied clinically, and their ...
