Flexible Microsensor for Shape Detection

Beharic J., Lucas T.M., Senousy Y.M., Harnett C.K., University of Louisville, US

Modern techniques used in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensor fabrication are adequate for use in most of today’s planar devices, which do not require flexibility to function. However, it’s difficult for a rigid structure to conform [...]

Near-Infrared Laser Actuated Cantilevers with Wavelength-Dependent Response

Lucas T.M., James K.T., Beharic J., Moiseeva E.V., Keynton R.S., O’Toole M.G., Harnett C.K., University of Louisville, US

Development of microscale actuating technologies has been critical for interacting with natural components at the cellular level. Small-scale actuators and switches have potential in areas such as microscale pumping and particle manipulation. Thermal actuation has [...]
