Untethered Magnetic Microswimmers for Targeted Particle Transport and Flow Manipulation

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work introduces magnetically actuated microswimmers to dynamically reconfigure fluid flow within a single microfluidic device. Multiple homogeneous microswimmers are independently controlled by an external magnetic field to perform translational and rotational motions, thereby inducing real‐time flow manipulation.

Passive acoustic mapping for monitoring burst wave lithotripsy

, 2023
Burst Wave Lithotripsy (BWL) is a non-invasive treatment modality for kidney stone fragmentation. Studies have shown that BWL induces lesser tissue damage than Shock Wave Lithotripsy and has no risk of infection, as observed in other treatment options such as ureteroscopy.

Photothermomechanically Efficient, Low‐Cost, High‐Cycle‐Life, Hybrid MXene‐Polymer Actuators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The addition of MXenes to elastomer‐plastic‐paper films enables the creation of easily prepared actuators that are scalable for small robotic applications. Known as MXene‐polymer Trilayer Actuators (MPTAs), they bend from UV light. Their usefulness is demonstrated through kirigami‐inspired flower‐shaped art design, parallel manipulator for waveguiding,

Mapping of Physiological Signals From Wireless Battery‐Free Implants With Plane‐Wave Ultrasound Imaging

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Combined approach of electromagnetic (Power) and ultrasound (data harvesting) waves is proposed to address the miniaturized ultrasonic implants. Electromagnetic waves trigger the piezoelectric element to generate the acoustic pulse which is modulated by the variations in the sensor's impedance.
