Modelling the effects of electrical pulse stimulation on marine fishes and invertebrates
We study the effects of electrical pulse stimulation on various marine organisms in the context of electric pulse bottom trawl fisheries. -
Secure and Gentle Grip of Delicate Biological Tissues
In current laparoscopic surgery, surgeons rely on mechanical tools (e.g. pincers and graspers) to handle the patient’s organs. These tools can...
