Ultrasound-driven triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) were recently proposed as an
energy solution technology for a sustainable lifespan of implantable medical devices (IMDs) …

We study the vibrational motion of mechanical resonators under strong drive in the strongly
nonlinear regime. By imaging the vibrational state of rectangular silicon nitride membrane …

This work presents fabrication of micro structures on sub–100 nm SiC membranes with a
large aspect ratio up to 1: 3200. Unlike conventional processes, this approach starts with Si …

Polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) have been shown to be sensitive to ultrasound
through the acousto-optic effect. The acousto-optic response of PDLCs was studied over a …

Knowledge of the mechanical properties and stability of thin film structures is important for
device operation. Potential failures related to crack initiation and growth must be identified …

Wearable apparatus for monitoring various physiological and environmental factors are
provided. Real-time, noninvasive health and environmental monitors include a plurality of …

Germanium (Ge) has attracted much attention in the last few decades due to its compatibility
with silicon (Si) for integrating to produce microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), of which …
