Photodetectors converting light signals into detectable photocurrents are ubiquitously in use today. To improve the compactness and performance of next-generation devices and systems, low dimensional materials provide rich physics to engineering the light

High precision biophysical measurements that are portable and performed without prior labeling of the molecules can greatly benefit several areas of biotechnology and biophysics, but existing techniques often lack sufficient resolution. Field-effect

We leverage thermal- and chemical-induced changes in microwave propagation characteristics (i.e., S-parameters) to compare ZnO and surface anchored metal-organic-framework (HKUST-1 MOF) thin films as sensing materials for detecting ethanol vapor (VOC). We
In this paper, we explore the dynamics of a closed chain of coupled micromechanical resonators, where each resonator is coupled to its two nearest neighbors. The design of a three-resonator array that combines silicon cantilevers with piezoelectric

In this work, we employed our newly developed optical imaging method to probe detailed acoustodynamic physics in gigahertz (GHz) unreleased ultrasonic transducers based on an AlN-on-silicon system, revealing mode superposition, anisotropic transduction

We demonstrate a microfabricated optomechanical accelerometer that is capable of percent-level accuracy without external calibration. To achieve this capability, we use a mechanical model of the device behavior that can be characterized by the thermal

This paper discusses methodology for characterizing linearity summary parameters of software-defined radio receivers. First, we introduce a highly automated testbed for 1-dB compression point (P1dB) and third-order input intercept point (IIP3). With this

Modeling the electromagnetic response of Carbon Nanotube (CNT) reinforced composites is inherently a three dimensional (3D) multi-scale problem that is challenging to solve in real-time for nondestructive evaluation applications. This article presents a

In this paper, we demonstrate our results on micron-wide tungsten silicide superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors fabricated by laser lithography. Laser-lithographically written devices allow for fast and easy structuring of large areas while

Electroacoustic technologies, which employ acoustic waves to manipulate and detect bioparticles, have been increasingly used, with a great deal of success, in life sciences. Particle manipulation or measurement capabilities of surface acoustic wave-based
Causality is a basic concept in system theory. In this paper we introduce the notions of causal and non-causal indoor localization. A non-causal localization system uses future signal and sensor measurements, in addition to past and present ones, to
Potorti et. al. wrote a paper [1] that was dubbed as the first critical reading of the international standard ISO/IEC 18305 [2], Test and evaluation of localization and tracking systems. The author of this paper served as the Editor of ISO/IEC 18305. As
We present the differences in cell migration patterns of endothelial cells when they physically interact with cancer cells through a porous membrane barrier (1.2 µm pore size). Cells were dielectrophoretically trapped on opposite sides of an 11 µm thick
