3D Printing of Functional Magnetic Materials: From Design to Applications
Advanced Functional Materials · 2021 · 200 citations
Senior authorCorresponding
Abstract The research of functional magnetic materials has become a hot topic in the past few years due to their fast, long‐range, and precise response in diverse environments. Functional magnetic devices using different magnetic materials and structure designs have been developed and demonstrated good advantages to enable various applications. However, the required magnetic materials and structure designs for diverse functions also increase the fabrication difficulties while developing such dev…

Investigation on the Current Status of Functional Movement Screen(FMS) for Male Specialized Football Athletes in Colleges and Universities
Scientific Journal of Technology · 2025-10-21
articleOpen accessSenior author
Football is a high-intensity competitive sport that involves the shoulders, torso, and lower limbs of the body. During movement, various parts of the body engage in complex coordination to achieve movements such as footwork, foot frequency, sprinting, turning, and jumping. This sport requires athletes to have highly developed physical fitness and is often accompanied by sports injuries. The seven test movements in Functional Movement Screening (FMS) include the basic movement patterns of the hum…
