Differing from the structure of traditional parallel plate capacitive sensor a semi cylindrical capacitive sensor has been introduced in this present work to measure the soil moisture conveniently. Here, the numerical analysis method to evaluate the capacitance from the semi-cylindrical capacitive sensor is analyzed and discussed. The changes of capacitance with the variation of soil moisture o...

Two-fingered micromanipulation systems with an integrated force sensor are widely used in robotics to sense and control gripping forces at the micro and nano-scales. They became of primary importance for an efficient manipulation and characterization of highly deformable biomaterials and nanostructures. This paper presents a chronological overview of gripping force measurement using two-fingere...

Scanning AC nano-calorimetry is a recently developed experimental technique capable of measuring the heat capacity of thin-film samples of a material over a wide range of temperatures and heating rates. Here we describe how this technique can be used to study solid-gas phase reactions by measuring the change in heat capacity of a sample during reaction. We apply this approach to evaluate the ox...

Abstract: The opteoelectronical properties of B12N12 nano-cage was investigated in thepresent of some metals by density functional theory (DFT). After the adsorption of atoxic molecule with all complexes, the electronic properties in B11GeN12 nano-cagewere significantly increased. The UV-Vis adsorption and Infrared spectroscopy ofcyanogen chloride over the B11GeN12 have ...

As nano-micro hybrid structures start to approach biological complexity, two problems demand computational assistance: Determination of three dimensional (3D) structure suffers from ambiguity due to the 2D nature of images, and insight into the complex growth mechanisms of the structures as well as optimization of emergent properties in their multidimensional parameter spaces, both need accurat...

Lithium niobate (LiNbO3) is used in applications such as in optoelectronics, surface acoustic wave devices and transducers. In this paper nano-patterning of LiNbO3 wafers at the wafer scale is investigated using a novel low cost and large-area nano-imprinting technique. The formation of nano-scale pillars is presented by nano-imprinting an ordered nickel etch mask by lift-off on a y-cut LiNbO3 ...

The world of IoT has enabled user’s to interact with the environment, in order to perform various tasks that best suits their requirements and daily lives. This includes the ability for end users to interact with miniature sensors within the environment, where such sensors can provide vital information (e.g. ECG from on-body sensors). However, extending the IoT to include nanoscale sensors and ...
