Biosensors are essential tools which have been traditionally used to monitor environmental
pollution, detect the presence of toxic elements and biohazardous bacteria or virus in …

Micromechanical photoswitches (MPs) have shown orders of magnitude lower standby
power consumption compared to their solid-state technology-based counterparts. In this …

This paper reports on the first demonstration of an infrared (IR) wireless sensor node (WSN)
with near-zero standby power consumption. The prototype presented here employs a …

Abstract The Near Zero Power RF and Sensor Operations (N-ZERO) program from DARPA
has created a new, nanowatt class of intelligent sensors and RF receivers enabling systems …

We present the design, fabrication, and response of a low-power, polymer-based VOC
sensor based on the self-leveling of mechanically leveraged structures. The device utilizes …

This paper details the design, fabrication, and characterization of highly uniform batch-
fabricated sidewall etched vertical nanogap tunneling junctions for bio-sensing applications …

We report the electrical detection of captured gases through measurement of the quantum
tunneling characteristics of gas-mediated molecular junctions formed across nanogaps. The …

This paper reports the design, fabrication and testing results of a proof-of-concept ultra-low-
