A novel torsion apparatus for micro-scale specimens is developed based on electromagnetism, in which a coil-magnet component is used for actuating and torque measuring. When the current gets through the coil, the torque, produced by Ampere force, can be easily measured by recording the current. A laser displacement sensor is applied to measure the rotation angle. The torque is calibrated using Sartorius BP211D balance. The calibration results demonstrate there is a perfect linear relationship between the torque and the current. The torque capacity is 4.0 × 10(-4) N m with noise-floor of less than 10(-8) N m. The rotation angle capacity is 60° with noise-floor of less than 0.02°. Two sets of copper wire specimens, with diameter of 100 μm and 140 μm, are tested using this apparatus. Experimental results, with good resolution and repeatability, successfully demonstrate the effectiveness of the torsion testing technique for micro-scale specimens.

This paper investigates the performance of continuous fibre-reinforced 3D printed components in salt water medium at room temperature. Markforged Mark Two 3D printer was employed to fabricate standard specimens made of Onyx and reinforced Onyx specimens with continuous carbon, high-strength high-temperature glass, and Kevlar fibres. Aging process was conducted to characterize the long-term effect of salt water on the mechanical behaviour of fibre-reinforced 3D printed samples.

Prostate cancer is a global health issue that requires new diagnostic methods to provide accurate and precise visualization of prostate tissue on the micro-scale. Such methods have the potential to improve nerve-sparing surgery and to provide image guidance during prostate biopsy. In this feasibility study, we assess the potential of three-dimensional wide-field optical coherence tomography (OCT), covering a volumetric imaging field-of-view up to 46 × 46 × 1 mm, to visualize micro-architecture in 18 freshly excised human prostate specimens.

- Energy-dispersive Laue diffraction (EDLD) is used to analyze the crystalline structure of dental enamel, focusing on how specific salivary peptides (statherin and histatin-1) affect demineralization processes.
- Three groups of healthy incisors were studied: a control group and two groups pre-treated with salivary peptides before being demineralized, allowing for a comparison of enamel texture.
- The study found that peptide-treated samples exhibited greater texture variations and multiple orientation populations of hydroxyapatite crystals, highlighting the potential of EDLD for detailed analysis in dental research.
A Microdissection Protocol for Proteogenomic Analysis of Histological Sections to Advance Drug Development.

Combining proteogenomics with laser capture microdissection (LCM) in cancer research offers a targeted way to explore the intricate interactions between tumor cells and the different microenvironment components. This is especially important for immuno-oncology (IO) research where improvements in the predictability of IO-based drugs are sorely needed, and depends on a better understanding of the spatial relationships involving the tumor, blood supply, and immune cell interactions, in the context of their associated microenvironments. LCM is used to isolate and obtain distinct histological cell types, which may be routinely performed on complex and heterogeneous solid tumor specimens.

This study aims to explore the static mechanical characteristics of coral aggregate seawater shotcrete (CASS) using an appropriate mix proportion. The orthogonal experiments consisting of four-factor and three-level were conducted to explore an optimal mix proportion of CASS. On a macro-scale, quasi-static compression and splitting tests of CASS with optimal mix proportion at various curing ages employed a combination of acoustic emission (AE) and digital image correlation (DIC) techniques were carried out using an electro-hydraulic servo-controlled test machine.
