Tunnel junction sensing of TATP explosive at the single-molecule level

Helena Miljkovic, Radomir Zikic

Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) is a highly potent homemade explosive commonly used in terrorist attacks. Its detection poses a significant challenge due to its volatility, and the lack of portability of current sensing techniques. To address this issue, we ...

Effects of a neuromuscular controller on a powered ankle exoskeleton during human walking

Auke Ijspeert, Arash Arami, Etienne Burdet, Florin Dzeladini, Amy Roning Wu, Daniel Renjewski

Wearable devices to assist abnormal gaits require controllers that interact with the user in an intuitive and unobtrusive manner. To design such a controller, we investigated a bio-inspired walking controller for orthoses and prostheses. We present (i) a S ...
