Bubbles Acting as Micro End‐Effectors for Dexterous Manipulation and Sensing in Aqueous Environment

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Inspired by bubbles, this article proposes a low‐cost method for multifunctional manipulation and sensing using microbubbles in aqueous environments. Bubbles are easily generated in situ, enabling the safe and adaptive handling of microobjects and sensing of microforces and surface textures.

New Insights Into the Three‐Dimensional Mechanics of the Flagellar Beat Cycle

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in imaging at the molecular scale have provided greater detail concerning the three‐dimensional structure of the ciliary/flagellar axoneme. Additionally, it has recently been confirmed that electrostatic forces regulate the dynein‐tubulin interaction at the microtubule binding domain (MTBD) of dynein, and at the junction of the nexin ...

Photothermal bubble: Dynamics, manipulation, and applications

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
As a versatile platform for bubble manipulation, photothermal techniques empower diverse operations: planar translation by scanning the laser spot, sustained periodic bouncing from competing thermal and hydrodynamic flows, and even guided 3D trajectories achieved by tailoring the heating configuration.
