Reconfigurable Acoustofluidic Microvortices for Selective Microcargo Delivery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces a frequency‐encoded, reconfigurable acoustofluidic system that overcomes the low throughput and poor selectivity of conventional micro‐delivery methods. By exploiting discrete microbubble resonances to program adaptive microvortex modes, the platform enables real‐time switching and selective guidance of microscale payloads through ...

Heterogeneous Integration of Flipped Oxide Heterostructure Membranes for Nanoelectronics

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A flipped electronically reconfigurable STO/LAO freestanding membrane is demonstrated and integrated with various host platforms via controlled transfer. Using ultra‐low‐voltage electron‐beam lithography, conductive nanostructures are created at the buried STO/LAO interface. This novel approach enables heterogeneous integration of flipped complex oxide

A Soft‐Tip Hydraulically Steerable Catheter for Enhanced Flexibility and Safety in Vascular Interventions

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a hydraulically steerable catheter with a soft tip in vascular procedures. The steering soft tip achieves a minimal diameter of 2.6 mm and supports a 180° bend. Real‐time shape and position tracking, facilitated by segmentation and endpoint detection techniques, improves navigation.
