Pneumatic actuators are of great interest for device miniaturization, microactuators, soft robots, biomedical engineering, and complex control systems. Recently, multi-material actuators have become of high interest to researchers due to their compre...

The transmission characteristics of the printed circuit board (PCB) ensure signal integrity and support the entire circuit system, with impedance matching being critical in the design of high-speed PCB circuits. Because the factors affecting impedanc...

As rheological properties are substantially influenced by red blood cells (RBCs) and plasma, the separation of their individual contributions in blood is essential. The estimation of multiple rheological factors is a critical issue for effective earl...

Step emulsification, which uses a geometry-dependent mechanism for generating uniformly sized droplets, has recently gained considerable attention because of its robustness against flow fluctuations. However, like shear-based droplet generation, step...

Soft robots have gained popularity, especially in intraluminal applications, because their soft bodies make them safer for surgical interventions than flexures with rigid backbones. This study investigates a pressure-regulating stiffness tendon-drive...
