Smart robotic devices remotely powered by magnetic field have emerged as versatile tools for wide biomedical applications. Soft magnetic elastomer (ME) composite membranes with high flexibility and responsiveness are frequently incorporated to enable local actuation for wireless sensing or cargo delivery. However, the fabrication of thin ME membranes with good control in geometry and uniformity remains challenging, as well as the optimization of their actuating performances under low fields (milli-Tesla).

Article Synopsis
- Small form-factor sensors are critical for minimally invasive intravascular diagnostics but current manufacturing complexities limit their use.
- A novel microscale extrinsic fiber-optic sensor has been developed with a confined air cavity that allows for precise pressure and temperature measurements using advanced optical techniques.
- The sensors demonstrate high sensitivity and design flexibility, making them suitable for improving intravascular physiological monitoring and guiding medical procedures.
Fast, miniature temperature sensors are required for various biomedical applications. Fibre-optics are particularly suited to minimally invasive procedures, and many types of fibre-optic temperature sensors have been demonstrated. In applications where rapidly varying temperatures are present, a fast and well-known response time is important; however, in many cases, the dynamic behaviour of the sensor is not well-known.
