Self-suspended vibration-driven energy harvesting chip for power density maximization
This work introduces a new concept to integrate energy-harvesting devices with the aim of improving their throughput, mainly in terms of scavenged energy density and frequency tunability.
Nanomechanical properties of solvent cast polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) polymer blends and self-assembled block copolymers
The nanomechanical properties of solvent-cast polymer thin films have been investigated using PeakForce™ Quantitative Nanomechanical Mapping. The samples consisted of films of polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate).
Assessing the local nanomechanical properties of self-assembled block copolymer thin films by peak force tapping
The mechanical properties of several types of block copolymer thin films have been investigated using PeakForce quantitative nanomechanical mapping. The samples consisted of polystyrene/poly(methylmethacrylate) with thickness below 50 nm and features of less than 22 nm.

A microfluidic device for the automated electrical readout of low-density glass-slide microarrays
In this work an automated and reusable electrical readout system for low-cost glass slide microarrays is described.
Functional and Consumption Analysis of Integrated Circuits Supplied by Inductive Power Transfer by Powering Modulation and Lock-in Infrared Imaging
The functionality and consumption of an RFID IC supplied by Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) has been non-invasively analyzed by IR thermography.The main aspects addressed in thiswork have been: the suitability study of the proposed modulation strategies, the characterization of the coupling betwee
Nanoscale reduction of graphene oxide thin films and its characterization
In this paper, we report on a method to reduce thin films of graphene oxide (GO) to a spatial resolution better than 100 nm over several tens of micrometers by means of an electrochemical scanning probe based lithography.
Biofunctionalized all-polymer photonic lab on a chip with integrated solid-state light emitter
A photonic lab on a chip (PhLOC), comprising a solid-state light emitter (SSLE) aligned with a biofunctionalized optofluidic multiple internal reflection (MIR) system, is presented.
