Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are widely used in sensing technologies due to their compact size, distributed sensing capability, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and ability to measure various physical parameters. ...

Over the last decade, single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) has developed into a set of powerful techniques that have improved spatial resolution over diffraction-limited microscopy and demonstrated the ability ...

Quantum information processing leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in ways that classical systems cannot. The principle of superposition and entanglement can allow quantum computers to solve ...

Scanning probe microscopes (SPM) are vital for visualizing and characterizing samples of interest to various fields with nanometer resolution, such as semiconductor fabrication, microbiology, and material engineering. The ...

Raman spectroscopy is based on inelastic scattering, which gives molecular information. Due to its weak nature, for a long-time Raman spectroscopy was limited to only study of molecular interactions, but with the advancement ...

The demand for miniaturization of energy storage systems has accelerated the development of on-chip micro-power devices for integration into portable electronic devices. Micro-supercapacitors can suitably cater to the need ...

This thesis is focused on the development of digestible electronics for healthcare. The vision is the development of an edible pill that performs diagnosis inside the body. Any such edible device needs an energy source ...

In vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests are critical for making informed clinical decisions. These tests are performed outside the body using specimens such as blood, sputum, saliva, and urine. IVD tests are usually performed ...

ZnO, band gap of ~3.37eV, is a chemical stable, biocompatiable, non-toxic n-type semiconductor material. Due to advancement of microfabrication technology and chemical synthesis method, nanostructured ZnO are found to be ...

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) have become a focus of global lighting community owing to their long service life, low energy consumption and environmental friendliness. The ever-increasing use of LEDs in many applications ...
