Propagation Loss-Immune Biocompatible Nanodiamond Refractive Index Sensors

DOI: 10.1002/adom.201700487 colon, and more.[12] More specifically, optical techniques based on sensing refractive index changes induced by increased metabolic activity can be particularly advantageous for early diagnosis of rapidly progressing testicular, pediatric, and mesenchymal cancers, characterized by short tumor volume doubling times.[13] Nonetheless, several challenges remain in curren...

Enhancing Parallel Robots Accuracy with Redundant Sensors

This paper introduces a control strategy based on redundant sensors that leads to parallel robots accuracy enhancement. The method is presented in general, then applied to a 4-dof parallel robot. Practical implementation issues, simulation results and experimental validation are addressed.

Protein Functionalized Nanodiamond Arrays

Various nanoscale elements are currently being explored for bio-applications, such as in bio-images, bio-detection, and bio-sensors. Among them, nanodiamonds possess remarkable features such as low bio-cytotoxicity, good optical property in fluorescent and Raman spectra, and good photostability for bio-applications. In this work, we devise techniques to position functionalized nanodiamonds on s...

Enhancing the sensitivity of magnetic sensors by 3D metamaterial shells

Magnetic sensors are key elements in our interconnected smart society. Their sensitivity becomes essential for many applications in fields such as biomedicine, computer memories, geophysics, or space exploration. Here we present a universal way of increasing the sensitivity of magnetic sensors by surrounding them with a spherical metamaterial shell with specially designed anisotropic magnetic p...
