Field‐Driven Active Colloids as Distributed Micromachines: Bridging Physics, Control, and Function Across Length Scales [PDF]
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Field‐driven active colloids are framed as distributed micromachines in which externally supplied power, sensing, and control regulate task‐relevant states. By closing the loop between particle behavior, imaging, computation, and electric or magnetic actuation, these systems can progress from programmable motion toward adaptive functional outcomes ...

Statistical Characterization of the Magnetic Field in Space during Magnetic Storms
Atmosphere, 2022 Magnetic storms are an important type of space weather and are usually caused by large streams of charged elementary particles (ions, for example) generated during solar wind production. The occurrence of magnetic storms can pose a threat to the internal

Remote magnetic navigation and arrhythmia ablation
Archives of Cardiovascular Diseases, 2012 Radiofrequency treatment is the first-choice treatment for arrhythmias, in particular complex arrhythmias and especially atrial fibrillation, due to the greater benefit/risk ratio compared with antiarrhythmic drugs. However, complex arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation require long procedures with additional risks such as X-ray exposure or serious ...

Initial Experience With Remote Catheter Ablation Using a Novel Magnetic Navigation System [PDF]
Circulation, 2004 Background— Catheters are typically stiff and incorporate a pull-wire mechanism to allow tip deflection. While standing at the patient’s side, the operator manually navigates the catheter in the heart using fluoroscopic guidance.
