Shock waves are non-linear waves propagating at speeds greater than the speed of sound, with a unique characteristic of instantaneously increasing the pressure, temperature and density of the medium through which they ...

In the past two decades nanopores have been used as highly sensitive detection systems for exploring the properties of analytes at single molecule resolution. The small dimensions of a nanopore permit the molecule of ...

This thesis proposes a partition of optical states into radiative and non-radiative parts when an emitter is proximal to resonant absorbing nanostructures. The conventional partition is valid only for the weak coupling ...

Blockchain technology elegantly provides a spectrum of desirable semantic properties, including immutability, authenticity, verifiability, and data integrity. In recent years, implementing blockchains on relational database ...

The research on Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) has resulted in several practical applications which have revolutionised the fi eld of sensors and actuators. Piezoresistive pressure sensors, capacitive micro-mirror ...

Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) have found extensive applications in micromechanical sensing. The scaling of MEMS into nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS) was spurred primarily by the expectation of higher ...

Atomically thin 2D materials have ushered in a new era in the fi eld of nano-science and tech- nology and have been translated to notable advancements in the design of sensors, optoelectronic devices, exible electronics. ...

High throughput methods accelerate the drug discovery, biomolecule detection and sequencing applications pipeline. Single molecule detection technique facilitates the implementation of high throughput methods by eliminating ...

Fiber lasers have become ubiquitous in industry and research for their numerous attractive properties that other lasers such as solid state lasers lack. However, conventional doped fiber lasers, though providing high power, ...

Analyzing large crowds quickly is one of the highly sought-after capabilities nowadays. Especially in terms of public security and planning, this assumes prime importance. But automated reasoning of crowd images or videos ...
