Liquids relax and unify strain in graphene

Highly stretchable strain sensors with reduced graphene oxide sensing liquids for wearable electronics.

Strain sensors with high sensitivity, broad sensing ranges and excellent durable stability are highly desirable due to their promising potential in electronic skins and human-friendly wearable interactive systems. Herein, we report a high-performance strain sensor based on rGO (reduced graphene oxide)/DI (deionized water) sensing elements. The strain sensors were fabricated by using Ecoflex rub...

Pseudomagnetic fields and triaxial strain in graphene

MEMS graphene strain sensor

Graphene is a two dimensional honeycomb structure of sp hybridized carbon atoms that has possibilities in many applications due to its excellent mechanical and electrical properties. One application for Graphene is in the field of sensors. Graphene’s electronic properties do not degrade when it undergoes mechanical strain which is advantageous for strain sensors. In this thesis, certain propert...

Nano-scale strain engineering of graphene and graphene-based devices

Structural distortions in nano-materials can induce dramatic changes in their electronic properties. This situation is well manifested in graphene, a two-dimensional honeycomb structure of carbon atoms with only one atomic layer thickness. In particular, strained graphene can result in both charging effects and pseudo-magnetic fields, so that controlled strain on a perfect graphene lattice can ...

Unify and Merge in Fluid Construction Grammar

Research into the evolution of grammar requires that we employ formalisms and processing mechanisms that are powerful enough to handle features found in human natural languages. But the formalism needs to have some additional properties compared to those used in other linguistics research that are specifically relevant for handling the emergence and progressive co-ordination of grammars in a po...
