This paper proposes a platform with electrically reconfigurable interactions between atom-like spin qubits and wave-like excitations of magnets to enable nanoscale electric field sensors scalable quantum circuits.

Nanoscale structures have been at the core of research efforts dealing with integration of nanotechnology into novel electronic devices for the last decade. Because the size of nanomaterials is of the same order of magnitude as biomolecules, these materials are valuable tools for nanoscale manipulation in a broad range of neurobiological systems. For instance, the unique electrical and optical ...

In this paper, a novel approach proposed for structural damage detection from limited number of sensors using extreme learning machine (ELM). As the number of sensors used to measure modal data is normally limited and usually are less than the number of DOFs in the finite element model, the model reduction approach should be used to match with incomplete measured mode shapes. The second-order a...

This work introduces a novel concept for energy scavenging from ambient vibrations utilizing ZnO nanowires (NWs). This concept relies on the combination into a single device of a resonant element (i.e. an inertial mass suspended by four serpentine springs) and two arrays of NWs grown at both sides of the inertial mass. The NWs can be bent as a result of the resonant motion of the mass. Due to t...

Abstruct-In order to use a wrist-mounted sensor (such as a camera) for a robot task, the position and orientation of the sensor with respect to the robot wrist frame must be known. We can find the sensor mounting position by moving the robot and observing the resulting motion of the sensor. This yields a homogeneous transform equation of the form A X = XB, where A is the change in the robot wri...

The unique properties of nanostructures associated with their low dimensionality give rise to new opportunities for research on nanoscale heat transfer and energy conversion. Inspired by Majumdar’s analysis of the novel aspects of heat, mass, and charge flow across the interface between hard and soft materials, some perspectives about research frontiers in nanoscale heat transfer and energy con...

Semiconductor device-based sensing of chemical and biological entities has been demonstrated through the use of microand nanoscale field-effect devices and close variants. Although carbon nanotubes and silicon nanowires have been demonstrated as single molecule biosensors, the fabrication methods that have been used for creating these devices are typically not compatible with modern semiconduct...
