Sperm cells undergo a wide variety of swimming patterns by a beating flagellum to maintain high speed regardless of the rheological and physical properties of the background fluid. In this work, we develop and control a soft robotic sperm that underg...
Magnetically actuated soft robots may improve the treatment of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Significant progress has been made in the development of soft robotic systems that steer catheters. A more challenging task, however, is the develo...

The direction of the Earth's magnetic field is used as a reference vector to determine the heading in orientation estimation with wearable sensors. However, the magnetic field strength is weak and can be easily disturbed in the vicinity of ferromagne...
This paper presents an open, multi-vendor, multi-field strength magnetic resonance (MR) T1-weighted volumetric brain imaging dataset, named Calgary-Campinas-359 (CC-359). The dataset is composed of images of older healthy adults (29-80 years) acquire...

Current immunotherapeutic approaches for autoimmune disorders primarily rely on the use of generalized immunosuppressive medications. However, most immune drugs and tolerogenic immunomodulators are insufficient on their own to establish antigen-speci...
Magnetic motors are a class of out-of-equilibrium particles that exhibit controlled and fast motion overcoming Brownian fluctuations by harnessing external magnetic fields. The advances in this field resulted in motors that have been used for differe...
Current sheets are spatially localized almost-one-dimensional (1D) structures with intense plasma currents. They play a key role in storing the magnetic field energy and they separate different plasma populations in planetary magnetospheres, the sola...
