Miniature Soft Robot With Magnetically Reprogrammable Surgical Functions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Miniature soft robots have great prospects to revolutionize minimally invasive treatments. Here we present a miniature soft robot, which can be reprogrammed to perform five surgical functionalities with six‐degrees‐of‐freedom motions. This soft robot can prospectively make minimally invasive surgery considerably safer and painless, and enable ...

A new flextensional piezoelectric ultrasonic motor - design, fabrication and characterisation

, 2007
This paper presents the techniques used for the characterisation of a new type of standing-wave piezoelectric ultrasonic motor. The motor uses a metallic flextensional amplifier, or “cymbal”, to convert the radial mode vibrations of a piezoelectric ...

Super‐Resolution Ultrasound Based Cell Tracking With Polymeric Nanobubbles

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a super‐resolution ultrasound platform for tracking cells in vivo. Biocompatible polymeric nanobubbles are used as highly echogenic intracellular labels. Following the injection of cells and microbubbles, ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) can dynamically match the microvascular architecture and individual cell trajectories ...

Mode-switching: a new technique for electronically varying the agglomeration position in an acoustic particle manipulator

, 2010
Acoustic radiation forces offer a means of manipulating particles within a fluid. Much interest in recent years has focussed on the use of radiation forces in microfluidic (or “lab on a chip”) devices.

A Dual‐Bioresponsive and Programmable Microneedle Matrix as a Bioinspired Coupler for Orchestrating Diabetic Bone Regeneration

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This project developed a smart bandage‐like patch (a microneedle array) for repairing diabetic bone damage. It intelligently senses signals from infection and inflammation, then releases its medicines in a specific, timed sequence: first an antibacterial agent, then an anti‐inflammatory agent, and finally growth factors.

Novel hydrophilic polymer couplant for application in ultrasonic non destructive testing [PDF]

, 2001
Ultrasonic Non Destructive Testing (NDT) is used to inspect materials and structures for defects. Water is commonly used in NDT as a couplant to improve ultrasonic transfer between an interrogating probe and test piece.
