A low-power magnetic levitation capsule robot system based on permanent magnets-electromagnetic coils array [PDF]

AIP Advances
Magnetic levitation capsule robots show great promise for gastric disease diagnosis due to their non-invasive nature and low infection risk. To reduce electromagnetic coils’ power consumption and minimize the device size, this study proposes a modified ...

Engineering of a miniaturized, robotic clinical laboratory [PDF]

Bioengineering & Translational Medicine, 2018
AbstractThe ability to perform laboratory testing near the patient and with smaller blood volumes would benefit patients and physicians alike. We describe our design of a miniaturized clinical laboratory system with three components: a hardware platform (ie, the miniLab) that performs preanalytical and analytical processing steps using miniaturized ...

Entropy‐Driven Design of Low‐Melting‐Point Alloys via Compositionally Complex Strategy

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional low‐melting‐point alloys (LMPAs) are limited by a narrow compositional space and inherent property trade‐offs. This review presents an entropy‐driven design strategy that overcomes these limitations, ushering in a new class of low‐melting‐point compositionally complex alloys (LMCCAs).

A Novel Approach to Estimate the Transition Temperature via Dynamic Nanoindentation

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A new dynamic nanoindentation‐based method was developed that uses the stiffness ratio as an indicator of the elastic–plastic deformation contributions at different temperatures. The approach successfully identified transition temperatures in ferritic steel and distinguished them from continuously ductile austenitic steel.
