Moxibustion therapy is a unique health resource in China, which is advantageous by its irreplaceable effectiveness in treatment, disease prevention and healthcare. But, moxibustion therapy used in primary care institutions in China is far from the du...
It is easy to cause thermal damage to the bone tissue when the surgical robot performs skull drilling to remove bone flaps, due to the large diameter of the drill bit, the large heat-generating area, and the long drilling time. Therefore, in order to...

A new type of actuator made from twisting a silver-plated nylon thread presents new possibilities for the way wearable mechatronic rehabilitation devices are designed. The twisted coiled actuator (TCA) has been previously shown to provide a power den...
Here, model blister-like soft thermo-pneumatic artificial muscles with the embedded nanofibers impregnated with ethanol are developed. The muscles are essentially blister-like thermo-pneumatic soft actuators (BTSAs), which deflect in response to heat...
Heat pain and its modulation by capsaicin varies among subjects in experimental and clinical settings. A plausible cause is a genetic component, of which TRPV1 ion channels, by their response to both heat and capsaicin, are primary candidates. Howeve...
