Engineering Metrics for Full-Scale Viability of PFAS Sorbent Regeneration

Abstract Evolving global regulations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are driving rapid expansion of sorbent-based treatment in drinking water and industrial effluents. Granular activated carbon and anion-exchange resins remain among the best available technologies,...

Thiol‐yne Click Polymer Platform for Protecting Steerable Neuroendoscope Tools

ABSTRACT Neurosurgical interventions rely increasingly on minimally invasive (MI) approaches, yet most MI surgical tools are rigid and have limited dexterity. Tendon‐actuated continuum robots are an emerging strategy employing a notched body to afford curvilinear motion upon pull...

Financial literacy and performance of micro and small enterprises: The mediating role of fintech adoption

Amid rapid technological change and complex financial markets, integrating knowledge resources and technological capabilities is a strategic way to address the challenges facing micro and small enterprises and to bolster their performance. Drawing on the knowledge-based view and...

Acoustic virtual walls enable open, scalable, and programmable microfluidics

Microfluidic platforms are widely used across biomedical research, chemical synthesis, diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and materials science for precisely manipulating small volumes of fluids and suspended particles. However, conventional systems rely on narrow physical ch...
