Article Abstract
Magnetoelastic (ME) sensors, which can be remotely activated via magnetic fields, are an excellent choice for wireless monitoring of biological parameters due to their ability to be scaled into different sizes and have their surface functionalized for chemical or biological sensing. In this study, we present the application of a commercially available ME material (Metglas 2826 MB) to develop a sensor system that can monitor the attachment of anchorage-dependent mammalian cells in two-dimensional in vitro cell cultures. Results obtained with the developed sensors and detection system correlated with microscopic image analysis of cell quantification, which showed a linear relationship between the sensor response and attached fibroblast cells on the sensor surface. It was also revealed that the developed ME sensor system is capable of providing temporal profiles of cell growth corresponding to different stages of cell attachment and proliferation in real-time.

Respiratory monitoring is crucial because it provides key insights into a person's health and physiological conditions. Conventional respiratory sensing is significantly challenged by the presence of water vapor in exhaled breath. An on-mask magnetoelastic sensor network is developed, featuring an ultralight, intrinsically waterproof architecture to achieve continuous, long-term respiratory monitoring and real-time, high-fidelity signal acquisition.

This study explores the impact of thermal annealing on the magnetic signal enhancement of three distinct Metglas ribbon materials: 2826MB3, 2605SA1, and 2714A. Each material underwent a systematic annealing process under a range of temperatures (50-500 °C) and durations (10-60 min) to evaluate the influence of thermal treatment on their magnetic signal response. The experimental setup applied a constant excitation frequency of 20 kHz, allowing for direct comparison under identical measurement conditions.

Two different magnetoelastic Metglas materials with distinct shapes were compared as sensing elements for the structural health monitoring of concrete beams. One had a ribbon shape, while the other had a microwire shape. The sensing elements were attached to different concrete beams, and a crack was introduced into each beam.

Growing demands for self-powered, low-maintenance devices-especially in sensor networks, wearables, and the Internet of Things-have intensified interest in capturing ultra-low-frequency ambient vibrations. This paper introduces a hybrid energy harvester that combines elastic buckling with magnetically induced forces, enabling programmable transitions among monostable, bistable, and multistable regimes. By tuning three key parameters-buckling amplitude, magnet spacing, and polarity offset-the system's potential energy landscape can be selectively shaped, allowing the depth and number of potential wells to be tailored for enhanced vibrational response and broadened operating bandwidths.

Blood coagulation tests are crucial in the clinical management of cardiovascular diseases and preoperative diagnostics. However, the widespread adoption of existing detection devices, such as thromboelastography (TEG) instruments, is hindered by their bulky size, prohibitive cost, and lengthy detection times. In contrast, magnetoelastic sensors, known for their low cost and rapid response, have garnered attention for their potential application in various coagulation tests.
