As inflation cools for goods, many service sectors-from dining out to insurance-continue to grapple with high costs, putting extra strain on consumers ...
Mechanical engineers have developed a system of artificial cilia capable of monitoring mucus conditions in human airways to better detect infection, airway obstruction, or the severity of diseases ...
“The sensing mechanism for mucus viscosity leverages external magnetic fields to actuate a magnetic artificial cilium and sense its shape using a flexible strain-gauge,” the researchers wrote.
