A novel method to pump fluid in lab on chip devices with velocities up to tens of micrometer per second is introduced. A focused laser beam locally heats up an electrolyte. A net charge tends to accumulate in the heat-absorbing area, due to…
Medical electrophysiological sensors that can study the body and diagnose diseases depend on consistently low impedance electrode-skin interfaces. Clinical-standard wet electrodes use hydrogels and skin abrasion to improve the interface and…
We demonstrate the compression of electron pulses in a high-brightness ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) instrument using phase-locked microwave signals directly generated from a mode-locked femtosecond oscillator. Additionally, a…
In this research, an electrically-polarized graphene-polylactic acid (E-GRP) spacer is introduced for the first time by a novel fabrication method, which consists of 3D printing followed by electrical polarization under a high voltage…
We present a reduced magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mathematical model describing the dynamical behavior of highly conducting plasmas with frozen-in magnetic fields, constrained by the assumption that, there exists a frame of reference, where…
A lot of work on clamped circular, square and rectangular shaped capacitive pressure sensor has been carried out. However, to the best of our knowledge, no elaborate work has been performed on mathematical formulation and simulation of…
A thermocouple of Au-Ni with only 2.5-micrometers-wide electrodes on a 30-nm-thick Si3N4 membrane was fabricated by a simple low-resolution electron beam lithography and lift off procedure. The thermocouple is shown to be sensitive to heat…
A microelectromechanical oscillator with a 0.73 $\mu$m gap structure is employed to probe the surface Andreev bound states in superfluid $^3$He-B. The surface specularity of the oscillator is increased by preplating it with 1.6 monolayers…
This paper presents experimental and modelling results of an ultra-compact self-rectifier flux pump energizing a superconducting coil. The device fits inside a volume of 65x65x50~mm and generates up to 320~A dc through the coil and a peak…
A well-characterised sample of silicon tunable-barrier electron pump has been operated at a frequency of 2 GHz using a custom drive waveform, generating a pump current of 320 pA. Precision measurements of the current were made as a function…
Microfluidic chips have been fabricated to study electrokinetic pumping generated by a low voltage AC signal applied to an asymmetric electrode array. A measurement procedure has been established and followed carefully resulting in a high…
A way forward for high throughput fabrication of microcapsules with uniform size and mechanical properties was reported irrespective of the kinetic process of shell assembly. Microcapsules were produced using lab-scale emulsification…
Spintronic terahertz emitters (STEs) pumped by femtosecond lasers have become a widely used source of broadband terahertz radiation. However, the strength of the emitted field is limited in part by the optical damage threshold at the pump…
We study the electromechanical transduction in nanoelectromechanical actuators and show that the differences in scaling for electrical and mechanical effects lead to an overall non-trivial scaling behavior. In particular, the previously…
Passive thermal spreaders utilizing liquid/vapor phase-change mechanism such as heat pipes, have been widely used in the macro-scale thermal management of electronic devices for many years. Micro-fabrication techniques enabled the…
Electrical conductivity is an inherent property of a hydrophobic porous media (HPM) and has critical applications. This research aims to provide a solution for predicting the electrical conductivity of nanoscale HPM with heterogeneous pore…
Metastability exchange optical pumping (MEOP) is a widely used technique for producing polarized $^{3}$He. In connection with an experiment to search for the electric dipole moment of the neutron (nEDM) we have built a MEOP based $^{3}$He…
Catalytic engines can use hydrogen peroxide as a chemical fuel in order to drive motion at the microscale. The chemo-mechanical actuation is a complex mechanism based on the interrelation between catalytic reactions and…
