An ordinary electric drill was integrated into a context-aware augmented reality (AR) framework to assist in timber-drilling tasks. This study is a preliminary evaluation to detail technical challenges, potential bottlenecks, and accuracy of the proposed o ...
DNA-based nanomaterials are gaining popularity as uniform and programmable bioengineering tools as a result of recent solutions to their weak stability under biological conditions. The DNA nanotechnology platform uniquely allows decoupling of engineering p ...
In this study, sintered silicon carbide is machined on a high-precision milling machine with a high-speed spindle, closed-loop linear drives and friction-free micro gap hydrostatics. A series of experiments was undertaken varying the relevant process param ...
Melt electrowriting (MEW) is an additive manufacturing technology where a fiber is deposited in a precise way with the help of an electric field to build micrometric designs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM). The commercially availabl ...
The present doctoral work was performed to contribute to the conceptual design development and safety assessment of a Generation IV Sodium Fast Reactor (SFR) in the frame of the European Sodium Fast Reactor Safety Measures Assessment and Research Tools (ES ...
In this thesis several advances are made to the emerging field of 3D printed mechanical sensors. Techniques and processes were developed to enable the integration of highly conductive, and capacitive and piezoresistive sensing features embedded within 3D p ...
Electroadhesion endows robots with super-human abilities: mechanical geckoes that climb vertical walls and soft grippers that grasp the most delicate objects. Based on electrostatics, the adhesion forces are turned on and off by an electrical signal, promi ...
The risk of concussion remains high in snow sports, even with a high helmet adoption rate. Novel helmet designs with enhanced energy dissipation are needed to solve this issue. In this study, helmet liners with bio-inspired honeycomb structures were propos ...
We demonstrate the use of the derivative voltammogram method to predict the selectivity of the photo-driven oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) on a WO3 photoanode as a function of applied potential using only information obtained from the linear sw ...
Additive manufacturing is a growing sector of industrial production that allows the fabrication of parts with complex geometries and reduced waste. The context of this thesis is light-based additive manufacturing technologies. In the first part of the thes ...
