Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.

Energy harvesting from vehicular traffic over speed bumps: A review [PDF]

, 2018
Energy used by vehicles to slow down in areas of limited speed is wasted. A traffic energy-harvesting device (TEHD) is capable of harvesting vehicle energy when passing over a speed bump. This paper presents a classification of the different technologies

A Mussel‐Inspired Bioadhesive Patch to Selectively Kill Glioblastoma Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An innovative mussel‐inspired bioadhesive patch has been developed for post‐surgical glioblastoma treatment. The patch, which adheres strongly in biological environments, releases a localized treatment. This treatment, acting via reactive oxygen species, shows specific toxicity to glioblastoma cells.

Study of pedestrian-induced vibrations on timber footbridges

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014
In Brazil, studies about pedestrian-induced vibrations on footbridges have been carried out since the early 1990s, for concrete and steel footbridges. However, there is no record of such studies and the Brazilian Standard NBR 7190 (1997) for the design ...

Pedestrian-Induced Bridge Vibration Driven by Behavioral Preferences

Buildings
Modern lightweight pedestrian bridges exhibit heightened susceptibility to human-induced vibration due to low natural frequencies and high flexibility. This study integrates behavioral science to explore pedestrian–structure coupling, developing a novel bidirectional biomechanical model capturing vertical/lateral movements.

Deformation Driven Suction Cups: A Mechanics‐Based Approach to Wearable Electronics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Deformation‐driven suction cups enable robust, reversible adhesion of wearable electronics to human skin spanning wide mechanical compliance, without adhesives or tight straps. By integrating mechanics modeling, experiments, and contact mechanics theory, this work reveals how cup geometry, substrate compliance, and interfacial adhesion govern suction ...

Catechol Derivative‐Based Bioadhesives: Molecular Design for Precision Medical Adhesion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study utilizes tree‐inspired side‐chain engineering to graft five catechol derivatives onto PVA, systematically revealing how side‐chain length and substituents regulate adhesion and cohesion properties. Among them, the PVA‐CA patch demonstrates superior tissue adhesion, biocompatibility, and promotes regeneration, establishing a programmable ...
