The scale matters: A review on stimuli‐responsive microrobots categorized by scale for biomedical applications

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
We systematically summarize how each scale dictates fundamental choices in design feature, manufacturing technology, driving mechanism, and control strategy, which are inherently governed by scale‐dominated physical principles. Furthermore, the application of scale‐determined operation modes of microrobots across different stages of medical ...

Multi-walled microchannels: free-standing porous silicon membranes for use in µTAS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Electrochemically formed porous silicon (PS) can be released from the bulk silicon substrate by underetching at increased current density. Using this technique, two types of channels containing free-standing layers of PS were constructed, which were ...

A thermoplastic microfluidic platform with integrated electrospun scaffolds for assessing brain cell‐specific drug selectivity

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the microfluidic platform with its advantages. Abstract A major challenge in pharmacology is the limited selectivity of therapeutic compounds toward specific tissues or cells. Drugs often distribute systemically before reaching the intended site of action, affecting nontarget cells and potentially reducing efficacy or ...

Diamond Metasurface‐Based Optical Tweezers With Enhanced Robustness

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 19, 2 April 2026.
Conventional metasurface optical tweezers are hindered by thermal instability from laser heating. This work overcomes this by using diamond metasurfaces, exploiting their low thermo‐optic coefficient and minimal thermal expansion. The platform demonstrates stable particle trapping, translocation, and rotation, enabling robust miniaturized systems for ...

Leveraging Digital Advanced Manufacturing to Enable Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells With Ultrahigh Gravimetric Power Density

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, Volume 16, Issue 13, 1 April 2026.
This study employs digital advanced manufacturing to develop lightweight, compact porous distributors as alternatives to conventional bipolar plates in PEM fuel cells. A graphene‐coated nickel foam achieves a power density of 1.52 W cm−2, while titanium‐based designs deliver lightweight solutions: an LPBF‐fabricated Gyroid lattice reaches 1.36 W cm−2 ...

Transfer of Energy and Momentum Between Magnetoactive Surface Microstructure and a Solid Object

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 6, 18 March 2026.
We demonstrate that magnetoactive multilamellar arrays subjected to a rotating magnetic field can function as platforms for controlled transport of physical objects. Through systematic experimental investigation, we elucidate the underlying physical mechanisms determining the upper limit of the achievable transportation speed in such magnetic “conveyor‐
