Surface Locomotion of Cell‐Sized Microrobots Subject to Adhesive Heterogeneity

Small, EarlyView.
Chemically powered, cell‐sized microrobots exhibit translational, circular, or spiral motion through a balance among self‐phoretic propulsion, drag, gravity, and heterogeneous surface interactions. Experiments show that microrobot design and substrate conditions regulate both mobility and trajectory type.

Composite Microgels with Dynamically Switchable Stiffness

Small, EarlyView.
Composite microgels comprising alginate and mucin are produced, in which covalent and ionics cross‐links are combined such that the mechanical properties of the microgels can be tuned on demand at any time post‐production. In addition, the mucin component conveys bacteria‐repellent properties to the cytocompatible microgels.

Extended Reality in Endodontics: A Review of Current Applications and Future Potential

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Extended reality (XR) technologies, encompassing augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR), are increasingly used in endodontic education and practice. A gap exists regarding understanding of XR's applications and limitations among endodontic educators and practitioners.

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Performance Estimation and Ex Vivo Validation of Untethered Magnetic Robots in Soft Tissue

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 61, 3 November 2026.
This study presents an empirical model that quantitatively predicts the step‐out frequency of screw‐type untethered magnetic robots (UMRs) in soft viscoelastic environments, including ex vivo brain tissue. By integrating key parameters into a dimensionless framework, the model enables estimation of robot performance across a range of biological ...

Distributed and Efficient Algorithm for Self-reconfiguration of MEMS Microrobots

, 2013
International audienceSelf-reconfiguration for moving MEMS microrobots currently needs a positioning system and a map of the target shape. Traditional positioning solutions like GPS or multilateration are not applicable in the micro-world and maps ...
