Macrophages are central to mechanobiology research: their physical characteristics-stiffness, adhesion, and ECM (extracellular matrix) sensing-are inextricably linked to their phenotypic polarization ...

Abstract: The concentric cable-driven manipulator has characteristics of flexibility and slenderness when working in confined space. However, how to optimize a structure with appropriate stiffness ...

Abstract: In this article, we propose a new time-domain method for solving Maxwell’s equations: patch-based matrix-free time-domain (P-MFTD) method, in unstructured 3-D meshes. This method is free of ...

In 1999, The Matrix was released to the world. At the time, it felt fantastical, almost absurd. The idea that machines could become so intelligent that they would no longer need humans, not to think, ...

Bolted joints are among the most common structural elements in precision machinery. They are used because they are strong, serviceable and reliable. Yet, despite their prevalence, the moment stiffness ...
