Cement production is responsible for 8% of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions [1]. Reducing this share will be a strenuous task as the global population and urbanization rates are increasing and, therefore, the need for concrete will remain high [2], [3]. Simultaneously, despite the alarming statistic, a vast majority of demolished concrete...

Immobilisation devices are commonly used for the treatment of extra-articular distal radius fractures. However, conventional immobilisation devices such as plaster casts and fibreglass casts may lead to complications and discomfort. Another disadvantage of present-day conservative fracture treatment is that the casts have to be replaced after...

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has several advantages over conventional surgery, including reduced damage to the body, less pain, lower infection risk, and faster recovery. However, MIS reduces the amount of space in which clinicians can operate within the body. This often forces them to work around delicate anatomical structures. A new type...
