While nanoscale structural imaging of cells is now possible, a direct recording of chemical composition of these domains is lacking. Here we overcome this challenge by first analytically modeling the ...

Low stiffness, large stroke, and axial force capabilities make Extensile Fluidic Artificial Muscles (EFAMs) a feasible soft actuator for continuum soft robots. EFAMs can be used to construct soft ...

Cell–cell junctions are essential components in multicellular structures and often experience strains of different magnitudes and rates. However, their mechanical behavior is currently underexplored ...

In transcranial penetration, ultrasound undergoes refraction, diffraction, multi-reflection, and mode conversion. These factors lead to phase aberration and waveform distortion, which impede the ...

Significant recent advancements achieved in manufacturing technology, including the new opportunities made possible by additive manufacturing (3D printing) have opened the doors to a range of new ...
