Orbital Electrowetting: From Continuous Droplet Transport to Programmable Microfluidics
This work comprehensively summarizes the mechanisms, recent advances, potential applications, and key challenges of orbital electrowetting. It highlights that integrating orbital electrowetting with conventional electrowetting is required to enable complete digital‐microfluidic workflows while simplifying platform architecture.

Bumpy Roads Ahead: America's Roughest Rides and Strategies to Make our Roads Smoother [PDF]
These days, potholes and pavement deterioration make it a challenge to keep the wheel steady on America's roads and highways. More than a quarter of the nation's major urban roadways -- highways and major streets that are the main routes for commuters ...

A new class of biohybrid spheroids is engineered through the self‐assembly of adherent cells and extracellular matrix‐mimetic hydrogel microparticles (microgels). By mimicking a snowballing effect, this approach enables scalable formation of porous, millimeter‐scale spheroids with enhanced cell viability and molecular diffusion.

An evolutionary approach to the optimisation of autonomous pod distribution for application in an urban transportation service [PDF]
For autonomous vehicles (AVs), which when deployed in urban areas are called “pods”, to be used as part of a commercially viable low-cost urban transport system, they will need to operate efficiently. Among ways to achieve efficiency, is to minimise time
