A low-profile flexural displacement-converter mechanism for piezoelectric stack actuators

open access: yesSensors and Actuators A: Physical, 2020
A thin flexure-based mechanism is proposed that is useful in applications with limited build space. The proposed mechanism converts the initial in-plane motion of two piezoelectric stack actuators to an out-of-plane translational motion. Two actuators in the symmetric design of the proposed APA can be used to ensure a pure translation output motion.

Spherical Skin Model: Stratified Co‐Culture of Fibroblasts and Keratinocytes on Spherical Beads Toward Compound Screening

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Models of the human skin must combine the relevant biological contents and suitable biomaterials with the correct spatial organization. Performing compound screening on such in vitro models also requires fast and reproducible production methods of the models.
