Advanced Optical Materials – June Issue Covers
Check out the articles highlighted on the covers of the latest issue of Advanced Optical Materials.
High-Resolution and Stable Linear Actuator Now also Available with Position Sensor
New linear actuator “N-472” from the “PiezoMike” series with integrated incremental encoder for the closed-loop adjustment of mechanical and optomechanical components. The positioning control is designed for point-to-point motion and nanometer-precise positioning at the target position.
Sensitive Electrochemical Detection of Persistent Toxic Substances
Impedance spectroscopy allows sensitive, simple, cheap devices for the quantitative detection of persistent toxic pollutants.
En route to biological applications: self-assembled fluorescent nanoparticles
Researchers from the Netherlands present a timely overview on self-assembled fluorene or perylene based chromophores focussing on biological applications.
Wearable Strain Sensors via 3D Printing
A multiple core–shell 3D printing method has been developed to fabricate soft, stretchable, fibre-based, capacitive strain sensors. The sensors can be readily integrated into conventional clothing and used in gait monitoring.
MoS2–Pd composites for hydrogen detection at room temperature
Researchers present a molybdenum disulfide–palladium composite system for highly sensitive detection of hydrogen at room temperature.
