Continuum Robots in Surgery: From Engineering Design to Clinical Practice

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
The hyper‐redundant nature of continuum robot structures enables near‐infinite degrees of freedom leading to immense potential for medical applications. This review provides a historical background of continuum robots and novel ideas shaping their progress to current structural design, sensing technology, modeling techniques, and control methods.

Sea Ice Transition Detection Using Incoherent Integration and Deconvolution

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2020
Currently, reflectometry-based sea ice detection methods rely on observables extracted from delay-Doppler maps (DDM)s, which are sensitive to ice in the specular zone.

Multiferroic‐Centric Materials and Systems Engineering for Battery Applications: An Insight Into Mechanisms, Strategies, and Characterizations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses

Unveiling a Near‐Total Rear Passivation for High Performance of Ultra‐Thin ACIGS

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ultra‐thin solar cells of (Ag,Cu)(In,Ga)Se2 (ACIGS) suffer from rear interface recombination, limiting their performance. To tackle it, a full coverage plasma enhanced chemically vapor‐deposited 8 nm porous SiOx passivation layer was implemented and evaluated. It is shown that a combination of the near‐complete passivation from silica and the formation

From Sensing Mechanisms to System Co‐Design: Graphene‐Based Sensors and Readout Circuits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review establishes a unified PS–EQ–RF framework linking graphene sensing mechanisms, native electrical outputs, and output‐specific readout circuits. Voltage‐, current‐, resistance‐, and capacitance‐type sensing systems are systematically classified to guide architecture selection, low‐noise design, system co‐design, and practical integration ...

VALIDATION OF REFLECTOQUANT™ FOR SOLUBLE REACTIVE PHOSPHORUS MONITORING IN SURFACE WATERS

Chilean Journal of Agricultural & Animal Sciences
High-frequency monitoring of soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) is essential for managing eutrophication in developing regions, but laboratory-based UV-Vis spectrophotometry (SPEC) is often limited by cost and logistics.

Correlated Polymer‐Proton Hopping Enables Water‐Independent Fast Proton Transport in Poly(Ionic Liquid) Membranes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A polymer chain in motion: backbone, ring, and counterion dynamics interlock across timescales to relay protons through poly(ionic liquid) membranes. ABSTRACT Polymer electrolyte membranes composed of ionic liquids (IL), capable of conducting protons efficiently at elevated temperatures, without external humidification, could transform fuel cell ...

Geometry‐Encoded Soft Strain Sensing via Liquid‐Metal Transmission Lines

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a liquid‐metal transmission‐line strain sensor that achieves intrinsic decoupling by encoding axial elongation into propagation delay. The time‐domain readout remains stable under complex off‐axis. This enables reliable, repeatable, real‐time elongation measurement in dynamic, multiaxial loading environments for wearable electronics,
