Thermal Hydraulic Criteria for Base-Triggered Vapor Explosion
Spontaneous vapor explosion can occur when a layer of high temperature molten material is deposited on a pool of water or on a moist floor. This is called a base-triggered vapor explosion.

Zero‐Waste Manufacturing of Ophthalmic Lenses by Direct Fluidic Shaping in Arbitrary Domains
Conventional ophthalmic lens manufacturing discards up to 97% of material through subtractive processes. The Cookie Cutter algorithm extends Fluidic Shaping to arbitrary rim geometries. The framework prescribes a spatially varying boundary height that, under neutral buoyancy and surface tension, shapes curable polymer into spherocylindrical lenses that

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract
We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a

Shear‐Isolating Actuation System for Exosuit Using Movable Pulley With Webbing‐Driven Mechanism
Tendon‐driven exosuits can chafe the skin because the moving tendon slides against the wearer. A shear‐isolating actuation system combining a movable pulley with flat‐profile webbing keeps the body‐contacting tendon layer stationary, relocating relative motion away from the skin. The compact 145‐g actuator delivers 150 N of assistance, and benchtop and
