In the first decade of our century, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) became a wonderful emitting
material for field-emission (FE) of electrons. The carbon nanotube field-emission (CNT-FE) …

This study reviews major sensing technologies for the Lunar environment and its resources,
as they have been developed since the times of Apollo missions. Selected technologies of …

This article presents a field-emission electron gun intended for use in a MEMS (
microelectromechanical system) electron microscope. Its fabrication process follows the …

In the paper, new detection methods that can be used to detect signals in a miniature MEMS
