Magnesium-Based Temporary Implants: Potential, Current Status, Applications, and Challenges.

Biomedical implants are important devices used for the repair or replacement of damaged or diseased tissues or organs. The success of implantation depends on various factors, such as mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and biodegradability of the materials used. Recently, magnesium (Mg)-based materials have emerged as a promising class of temporary implants due to their remarkable properties, such as strength, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and bioactivity.

Learning-based robotic grasping: A review.

As personalization technology increasingly orchestrates individualized shopping or marketing experiences in industries such as logistics, fast-moving consumer goods, and food delivery, these sectors require flexible solutions that can automate object grasping for unknown or unseen objects without much modification or downtime. Most solutions in the market are based on traditional object recognition and are, therefore, not suitable for grasping unknown objects with varying shapes and textures. Adequate learning policies enable robotic grasping to accommodate high-mix and low-volume manufacturing scenarios.

Decarburization in Laser Surface Hardening of AISI 420 Martensitic Stainless Steel.

Decarburization deteriorates the surface mechanical properties of steel. It refers to the loss of carbon from steel's surface when exposed to an open-air environment in elevated-temperature conditions. Despite the short interaction time and fast thermal cycle of the laser surface-hardening process, decarburization may still occur.
