This paper proposes a review of several circuits for communication and wireless sensing applications implemented on cellulose-based materials. These circuits have been developed during the last years exploiting the adhesive copper laminate method. Such a technique relies on a copper adhesive tape that is shaped by a photo-lithographic process and then transferred to the hosting substrate (i.e.,...

Fabrication of Through-glass Vias (TGV) based 3D microstructures in glass substrate by a lithography-free process is presented. Through-holes having an opening size ∼ 300–500 µm and spiral-shaped embedded redistribution lines 290 width 50 depth were directly created 400 μm thick the electrochemical discharge machining. A 20 nm conformal seed layer was deposited electroless nickel deposition, wh...

In this paper, we study a new problem of finding a convex drawing of graphs with a non-convex boundary. It is proved that every triconnected plane graph whose boundary is fixed with a star-shaped polygon admits a drawing in which every inner facial cycle is drawn as a convex polygon. Such a drawing, called an inner-convex drawing, can be obtained in linear time.

Research on green production methods for metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) is growing, with the objective to overcome the potential hazards of these chemicals for a safer environment. In this study, facile, ecofriendly synthesis of copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles was successfully achieved using aqueous extract of Pterospermum acerifolium leaves. P. acerifolium-fabricated CuO nanoparticles were f...

Macrocycles are essential building blocks for supramolecular architectures. In this Highlight Review, recent progress in our laboratory is summarized regarding the development of paraphenylene-derived figure-of-eight rigid macrocycles. These molecules derived from X-shaped cores including anthracene photodimer, tetraphenylethylene, and copper-phenanthroline complex, exhibit attractive topologic...
