Multiple-resistant Klebsiella infections, especially in intensive care units, lead to prolonged hospitalizations and high mortality rates due to problematic treatment strategies. In the context of infection prevention, the application of antibiotics is viewed with reservation, as it carries the risk of promoting resistant bacterial varieties. Due…[Read more]

We leverage the swiftness of pneumatically-based jamming and the portability of thermally-induced phase change methods. By employing two distinct strategies, we examine how magnetic field strength affects the strengthening of our magnetorheological jamming beam specimens. These include utilizing the rising yield stress of the magnetorheological…[Read more]
