Gyroscopes sense angular speed of the body on which they are mounted. Traditional mechanical gyroscopes are big, bulky, expensive, and hence limited to a few applications. With the advent of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems ...

Flexible Electronics is a multi-disciplinary domain that creates intersections among elec- tronics, materials-science, mechanics, packaging, sensor-design, etc., to build exible / stretchable / conformal electronic ...

Optical communication has transformed information technology and enabled the present-day data explosion. The new era of data centric society is primarily driven by the ability to communicate data at high-speed. Migration ...

Recently the domain of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) has seen an unprecedented rise in use of varieties of new materials other than the conventional silicon and related materials originally borrowed from semiconductor ...

Life forms as we know emerged due to unique mechanical and transport properties exhibited by Soft Materials at interface. For instance, the interior of a cell is separated from outside environment by lipid bilayer which ...

Population increase and economic growth have caused competing demands to occur over transboundary water resources. The property rights on such water resources are not well defined, and therefore competing demands give rise ...

Photoacoustic imaging is a hybrid biomedical imaging technique combining optical ab- sorption contrast with ultrasonic resolution. It is a non-invasive technique that is scalable to reveal structural, functional, and ...

Thermoelectric materials play an important role in harvesting the waste heat into useful electrical energy. Since thermoelectricity can lead to a clean energy conversion technology, it is important to find suitable TE ...

In past two decades and more, III-N based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) have generally used GaN as the channel layer. During this period, the quest for operating it at higher frequencies has resulted in the ...

Structures of proteins play a key role in determining their functions. Knowledge of structure, especially the details of specific sites of a protein can help us understand their contribution to the overall activity. ...
