Self-healing in space electronics carries the possibility of creating a paradigm shift in engineering space systems with lesser complexity and mass. Space electronics plays a crucial role in the success of a mission as it ...

Micro-robotics is concerned with development of robotic systems to manipulate micro-meter sized objects. To develop functional micro-robotic manipulators, it is necessary to develop joints that possess large motion range ...

This thesis reports the characterization of Red Blood Cell (RBC) morphology in a non-contact and label-free manner using a flexible, low-cost continuous imaging system. Detection of abnormalities in red blood cell ...

In recent years, device manufacturing technology has been shifted from bulk and thin-film materials to nanomaterials, which are emerged as a unique class of materials. Among all the two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, ...

Among the five human basic senses, touch is thought to be the sense that makes the world 'real' to us. Tactile sensors are a category of artificial sensors that acquire information through physical touch. Tactile sensors ...

Sericulture is the art of rearing silkworms for silk production. The matured silkworms will be spinning cocoons as a protective shield before they undergo metamorphosis. These cocoons are immersed in boiling water to soften, ...

Fibre Bragg grating sensors, characterised by high sensitivity, flexibility, and immunity to electromagnetic interference, have found applications in commercial-grade temperature and strain sensors. Removing the clad, ...

The aim of this work is to develop high performance cryosorption (or cryoadsorption) pumps specifically for fusion applications. An actual cryopump for the above application will use the supercritical liquid helium flow ...

Vertically aligned carbon nanostructures are a type of carbon nanomaterial in which nanostructures are aligned lengthwise perpendicular to the plane of the substrate. In this thesis work, two vertically aligned carbon ...

Reliable, high performance integrated circuits based on thin film transistors (TFTs) on flexible substrates have a lot of advantages, especially in applications like flexible displays, spherical image sensors, wearable ...
