The functioning of the neuromuscular system is an important factor for quality of life. With the aim of restoring neuromuscular function after limb amputation, novel clinical techniques such as the agonist‐antagonist myoneural interface (AMI) are being developed. In this technique, the resid...

The origin of translation is one of the most difficult problems of molecular evolution. Identifying molecular systems that translate an RNA sequence into a peptide sequence in the absence of ribosomes and enzymes is a challenge. Recently, single‐nucleotide translation via coupling of 5′...

This article aims to present some novel experimental approaches and computational methods providing detailed insights into the mechanical behavior of skeletal muscles relevant to clinical problems associated with managing and treating musculoskeletal diseases. The mechanical characterization of skeletal mu...

The increasing usage of electrical energy storage solutions demands for cost effective, scalable and sustainable manufacturing technologies. Deposition of functional inks, carrying electrochemically active materials is a suitable technique as it delivers material with selected properties only to required&#...

Translating medical microrobots into clinics requires tracking, localization, and performing assigned medical tasks at target locations, which can only happen when appropriate design, actuation mechanisms, and medical imaging systems are integrated into a single microrobot. Despite this, these parameters&#...

Hygroscopic single crystals of a new hexagonal high‐temperature modification of Sr[ReO4]2 were prepared from a melt of Sr[ReO4]2 ⋅ H2O and SrCl2 ⋅ 6 H2O. The structure analysis of the obtained crystals by X‐ray diffraction revealed that the title compound crystallizes in the ThCd[M...

A chromium complex carrying two benzanellated N‐heterocyclic phosphenium (bzNHP) ligands was prepared by a salt metathesis approach. Spectroscopic studies suggest that the anellation enhances the π‐acceptor ability of the NHP‐units, which is confirmed by the facile electrochemical reduction of the...

The glycolipids cellobiose lipids (CL) and mannosylerythritol lipids (MEL) are biosurfactants mainly synthesized by microorganisms of the Ustilaginaceae family. They have a large structural diversity, varying in their sugar moieties and the attached fatty acids, resulting in a prospectively broad ...

In the recent past, the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission and its successor GRACE Follow‐On (GRACE‐FO), have become invaluable tools for characterizing drought through measurements of Total Water Storage Anomaly (TWSA). However, the existing approaches have often o...

Time-triggered networks run on a premade schedule to ensure that all messages arrive at their destination on time and without being dropped. They are deployed in safety-critical environments like airplanes, cars, but also factories. Online scheduling algorithms can create schedules for such&...

The correct operation of upper-layer services is unattainable in wireless Time-Sensitive Networks (TSN) if the schedule cannot provide formal reliability guarantees to each stream. Still, current TSN scheduling literature leaves reliability, let alone provable reliability, either poorly quantified or ...

With wireless multimodal locomotion capabilities, magnetic soft millirobots have emerged as potential minimally invasive medical robotic platforms. Due to their diverse shape programming capability, they can generate various locomotion modes, and their locomotion can be adapted to different environments&#x...

Stable water isotopologs can add valuable information to the understanding of evaporation processes. The identification of the evaporation front from isotopolog concentration depth profiles under very dry soil conditions is of particular interest. We compared two different models that describe is...

Electronic devices have been ever‐shrinking toward atomic dimensions and have reached operation frequencies in the GHz range, thereby outperforming most conventional test equipment, such as vector network analyzers (VNA). Here the capabilities of a VNA on the atomic scale in a scanning ...

Nature's diversity offers an abundance of promising solutions for novel bioinspired functional materials and systems. In particular, single‐celled organisms exhibit solutions and material properties that are realized at the nano‐ and micro‐scales. Ciliates are ubiquitous unicellular eukaryotes that are...

Kurt Magnus (1912-2003) is one of the personalities who shaped research and teaching in applied mechanics during the 20th century. Through his work with his doctoral supervisor Max Schuler at the University of Göttingen, gyrodynamics became his most important field of work, which a...

Nucleosides find applications in medicinal chemistry, chemical biology and diagnostics. Among the nucleosides, C ‐nucleosides have attracted particular attention because their carbon‐carbon bond between nucleobase and ribose provides stability against degradation. While several well‐established methods exist for...

Context. Student software development projects are an essential part of Software Engineering education. They provide students with the opportunity to work on real-world projects and gain practical experience. SCRUM, a popular agile methodology, is often used in these projects. Problem. Stud...

EEG (Electroencephalography) cap preparation requires a significant amount of time before actual measurements can be performed. It takes even longer for EEG caps that need some form of conductive gel or saltwater to decrease contact impedance between the electrodes and the scalp. In...
