High Sensitivity MEMS Pressure Sensor

Juetten M., Iowa State University Research Foundation, US

Summary: ISU researchers have developed a high-sensitivity microelectromechanical system (MEMS), graphene-based pressure sensor that outperforms any existing MEMS-based small footprint pressure sensor. Description: ISU researchers have developed a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) graphene-based pressure sensor realized [...]

Visible Light Absorbing Photoremovable Protecting Groups

Juetten M., Iowa State University Research Foundation, US

Photoremovable protecting groups (or “photocages” or “phototriggers”) are light-sensitive chemical moieties that provide control over the release of any number of reagents in a variety of environments. While photocages have important applications in areas such [...]

Piezoelectric-Based Vibration Energy Harvester

Jeutten M., Iowa State University Research Foundation, US

A potential means of extending battery life is the use of miniature renewable self-contained power supply units, which can convert ambient vibrations from existing sources in their environment into electrical form, and use this harvested [...]
