Bio-inspired Robot Developed to Be a Space ‘catcher’
A research group led by Prof. Kang Rongjie, an Associate Professor from the Centre for Advanced Mechanisms and Robotics of Tianjin University, developed a novel continuum bio-inspired robot that looks like a flexible arm combining softness and strength. This invention will be a “catcher” in space to handle failed satellites and space debris if it passes the undergoing ground tests. Under the ...

TJU Researchers Develop 3D-printed Pipe-climbing Robot
A white piece of equipment was “climbing” a round tube. With its body part stretching and contracting like inchworms, it inched forward freely and even passed a 90-degree angle successfully.The equipment is actually aone-piece 3D-printed pipe-climbing robot composed of sequenced novel soft bending mechanisms, developed by Prof. Zuo Siyang and Dr. Liu Jianbin’s research team at Tianjin Univer...

New Nano ‘Weapon’ to Hit Cancer Cells Precisely
Traditional cancer chemotherapy may cause problems in terms of targeting, drug resistance, side effects, metastasis and recurrence. Recently, a team led by Professor Zhao Yanjun and Prof. Wang Zheng from the School of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology has designed a novel nano drug carrier based on the mechanism of ferroptosis. This carrier, with the characteristics of selectivity and broad...

Research Progress in Volatile Organic Pollutants (VOCs) Adsorption Treatment
For years, the serious air pollution, especially the haze, photochemical smog, and ozone, has attracted widespread attention at home and abroad. Volatile organic gases (VOCs) are important pollutants that cause haze and ozone (O3). The adsorption technique is one of the efficient and simple methods to remove VOCs, but the presence of water vapor can compete with VOCs in the practical applicatio...
