3D Printed Omniphobic Slippery Liquid Infused Porous Surfaces for Low Surface Tension Repellency
A 3D printing strategy fabricates omniphobic slippery liquid‐infused porous structures with lubricant reservoirs and interconnected microchannels. A post‐printing surface treatment modifies the porous surface to ensure compatibility with the infused fluorinated lubricant.

Design of pulse jet coolant delivery system for minimal quantity lubricant (IP MQL) operation [PDF]
Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) machining is one of the promising solutions to the requirement for reducing cutting fluid consumption. The work here describes MQL machining in a range of lubricant consumption of 2.0-2.355ml/s, which is between 10 ...

Synchronization of flexible sheets
When swimming in close proximity, some microorganisms such as spermatozoa synchronize their flagella. Previous work on swimming sheets showed that such synchronization requires a geometrical asymmetry in the flagellar waveforms.

A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in
