Forces and torques on the nanoscale: from measurement to applications
(SPIE, 2012)The possibility of measuring microscopic forces down to the femtonewton range has opened new possibilities in fields such as biophysics and nanophotonics. I will review some of the techniques most often employed, namely ... -
Noncontact atomic force microscopy: an emerging tool for fundamental catalysis research
(American Chemical Society, 2015)ConspectusAlthough atomic force microscopy (AFM) was rapidly adopted as a routine surface imaging apparatus after its introduction in 1986, it has not been widely used in catalysis research. The reason is that common AFM ... -
A portable microfluidic system for rapid measurement of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a frequently used 30 min or 60 min clinical test for screening of several inflammatory conditions, infections, trauma, and malignant diseases, as well as non-inflammatory conditions ... -
Theoretical study of crossed and parallel carbon nanotube junctions and three-dimensional grid structures
(American Physical Society, 2004)This work presents a first-principles study of parallel and crossed junctions of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT). The crossed junctions are modeled by two-dimensional grids of zigzag SWNTs. The atomic and electronic ... -
Wireless monitoring of a structural beam to be used for post-earthquake damage assessment
(IEEE, 2018-05-06)Wireless monitoring of a standard reinforced concrete beam is shown in a simply supported beam experiment. The passive nested split-ring resonator (NSRR) probes are attached on the reinforcing bars (rebars) within the beam, ...
