Skeletal muscle is the main actuator of various families of vertebrates (mammals, fish, reptiles). It displays remarkable robustness to micro-damage, that supposedly originates both from its redundant hierarchical structure and its nervous command. A...
Quantification of tissue stiffness with magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is an inverse problem that is sensitive to noise. Conventional methods for the purpose include direct inversion (DI) and local frequency estimation (LFE). In this study, we...
Considering the characteristics and operating environment of remotely controlled miniature soft robots, achieving delicate adhesion control over various target surfaces is a substantial challenge. In particular, the ability to delicately grasp wrinkl...
Conductive hydrogels are widely used in flexible sensors owing to their adjustable structure, good conductivity, and flexibility. The performance of excellent mechanical properties, high sensitivity, and elastic modulus compatible with human tissues ...
High-performance tactile sensors with skin-sensing properties are crucial for intelligent perception in next-generation smart devices. However, previous studies have mainly focused on the sensitivity and response range of tactile sensation while negl...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based force spectroscopy assay has become an important method for characterizing the mechanical properties of single living cells under aqueous conditions, but a disadvantage is its reliance on manual operation and exper...
Recreating complex structures and functions of natural organisms in a synthetic form is a long-standing goal for humanity. The aim is to create actuated systems with high spatial resolutions and complex material arrangements that range from elastic t...
Flexible wearable pressure sensors have received increasing attention as the potential application of flexible wearable devices in human health monitoring and artificial intelligence. However, the complex and expensive process of the conductive fille...
Cell recognition methods are in high demand in cell biology and medicine, and the method based on atomic force microscopy (AFM) shows a great value in application. The difference in mechanical properties or morphology of cells has been frequently use...
Elastography is a medical imaging technique used to measure the elasticity of tissues by comparing ultrasound signals before and after a light compression. The lateral resolution of ultrasound is much inferior to the axial resolution. Current elastog...
