Exploring the application of ferroelectret nanogenerators in medical engineering
Abstract Flexible devices derived from piezoelectric materials have gained considerable attention due to their exceptional biocompatibility. Among these, ferroelectret nanogenerators (FENG) is a novel type of flexible piezoelectric device that integrates self‐powering, actuation, and sensing capabilities.

Sick of Robots—Heterogeneous Effects of Industrial Robots on Sickness Absence
ABSTRACT This paper studies how the introduction of industrial robots affects sickness absence among workers in the manufacturing sector in Norway. We use data on the imports of industrial robots at the firm level, combined with employee‐firm linked register data, to investigate the impact of robotization on the duration of sick leave (SL).

ABSTRACT Conventional MRI is limited in imaging tissues with short T2 relaxation times, such as bone, ligaments, and cartilage, due to their rapid signal decay. This limitation has spurred the development of specialized MRI techniques designed specifically for short‐T2 tissue imaging.
