Organic Electrochemical Transistors are considered today as a key technology to interact with biological medium through their intrinsic ionic-electronic coupling. In this paper, we show how this coupling can be finely tuned (in operando)…
Atomic polarization phenomena impinge upon a number of areas and processes in physics. The dielectric constant and refractive index of any gas are examples of macroscopic properties that are largely determined by the dipole polarizability.…

Electro-osmosis (EO) is a powerful tool to manipulate liquids in micro and nanofluidic systems. While EO has been studied extensively at liquid-solid interfaces, the case of liquid-vapor interfaces, found e.g. in foam films and bubbles,…
A number of electronic devices involve metal/oxide interfaces in their structure where the oxide layer plays the role of electrical insulator. As the downscaling of devices continues, the oxide thickness can spread over only a few atomic…

Tactile skins based on Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) enable large-area contact localization with few electrodes, but suffer from nonuniform sensitivity that limits force estimation accuracy. This work introduces a dual-channel…
The vibrational theory of olfaction was posited to explain subtle effects in the sense of smell inexplicable by models in which molecular structure alone determines an odorant's smell. Amazingly, behavioral and neurophysiological evidence…
