From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

Quantitative Depth Estimation in Lock-In Thermography: Modeling and Correction of Lateral Heat Conduction Effects

open access: yesMaterials
Lock-in thermography is a widely used nondestructive testing technique for detecting subsurface defects in solid materials. In this study, one-dimensional analytical modeling and three-dimensional finite element simulations were combined to elucidate how lateral heat conduction influences quantitative depth estimation in titanium alloy material using ...

Outcomes of Fluoroscopy‑Free Interlocking Intramedullary Nailing Using a Dedicated Targeting Device: A Prospective Analytical Study of 150 Femoral and Tibial Shaft Fractures in Abidjan

open access: yesHealth Research in Africa
Introduction. Interlocking intramedullary nailing is the gold standard for diaphyseal fractures, but it usually requires fluoroscopic guidance. In many low‑resource settings, fluoroscopy is not readily available.

Viral Communities Locked in High Elevation Permafrost Up to 100 M in Depth on the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesScience of The Total Environment
Permafrost serves as a natural cold reservoir for viral communities. However, little is known about the viromes in deep permafrost soil, as most studies of permafrost were restricted to shallow areas. Here, permafrost soil samples of up to 100 m in depth were collected from two sites in the Tuotuo River permafrost area on the Tibetan Plateau.

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.
