Transducers Across Scales and Frequencies: A System‐Level Framework for Multiphysics Integration and Co‐Design

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

Anatomical obstacles in cavotricuspid isthmus detected by modified 2D transthoracic echocardiography and long-term outcomes in radiofrequency ablation of typical atrial flutter

Folia Morphologica
BACKGROUND: Although radiofrequency ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI), responsible for sustaining atrial flutter, is a highly effective procedure, in extended patient observations following this procedure, more than 10% becomeunsuccessful ...
