Imaging systems using closed bipolar electrode (cBPE) arrays and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) have attracted great attention in recent years as a 2D imaging platform with high spatiotemporal resolution. However, the fabrication techniques for cBPE arrays ...
For dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) to find more widespread adoption in commercial products, a better understanding of their durability is needed. By determining the different mechanisms contributing to ageing and breakdown in DEAs, new methods for i ...
Electro-adhesive clutches have become effective tools for variable stiffness functions in many robotic systems due to their light weight, high speed and strong brake force. In this paper, we present a novel, tubular design of an electro-adhesive clutch. Ou ...
Melt electrowriting is a microscale manufacturing technique that uses polymer-based melts to create fibrous structures. An electric field is used to stabilize a continuous molten jet, which is then written onto a substrate as a microscale fiber. Herein, it ...
Conventional conductive films that are used as electrodes in organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) are susceptible to mechanical deformation, limiting the applicability of such films in flexible wearable electronic devices. To address this limitation, a hy ...
Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide is a promising approach to decrease the amount of anthropogenic CO2 being released into the atmosphere, provided that a surplus of renewable electrical energy is available. Copper based materials are at the cente ...
Lithium-ion batteries with enhanced rate performance are of crucial importance for practical applications. Extensive studies on the structural design and surface modification of electrode materials with the aim of improving the rate performance have been r ...
The influence of charge trap states in the dielectric boundary material on capacitively coupled radio-frequency (RF) plasma discharge is investigated with theory and particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision simulation. It is found that the trap states of the ...
This paper presents a novel impedance-sensing device and its related microfluidics system developed to characterize the macroscopical properties of bacteria and microparticles. The system is based on a phase-sensitive detector with square-waves excitation ...
Dispersion of A1 Lamb mode near onset frequency is discussed. This mode is close to that used in XBAR devices. The typically used approximation is based on elliptic form of slowness curve and ignoring mode interaction is not valid for widely used materials ...
