Brain disorders represent an ever-increasing health challenge worldwide. While
conventional drug therapies are less effective due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier …

Biological soft tissues manipulation, including conventional (mechanical) and
nonconventional (laser, waterjet and ultrasonic) processes, is critically required in most …

In order to develop optimum microneedle designs, researchers must first develop robust,
repeatable and adaptable test methods which are representative of in vivo conditions …

With natural evolution, honeybee stinger with microbarbs can easily penetrate and trap in
the skin of hostile animals to inject venom for self-defense. We proposed a novel three …

Brain‐machine interfaces (BMIs) that link the brain to a machine are promising for the
treatment of neurological disorders through the bi‐directional translation of neural …

The mechanical behaviour of gelatine gels as a function of test rate and gelatine
concentration was determined through lubricated uniaxial compression and wire cutting …

Phantoms are common substitutes for soft tissues in biomechanical research and are
usually tuned to match tissue properties using standard testing protocols at small strains …

Reservoir deformations due to stress changes may have a substantial impact on the
effective flow properties of reservoir rocks, which may potentially impact productivity and …

Biological puncture systems use a diversity of morphological tools (stingers, teeth, spines
etc.) to penetrate target tissues for a variety of functions (prey capture, defence …

Through natural selection, many animal organs with similar functions have evolved different
macroscopic morphologies and microscopic structures. Here, we comparatively investigate …
