Citizen science projects work best when there is community buy-in, when their purposes are clearly defined at the outset, and when the motivations and skill-sets of all participants and stakeholders are well understood.
Results for "sensors"
The Protein Corona on Nanoparticles as viewed from a Nanoparticle Sizing Perspective
A biomolecular adsorption layer (corona) forms on essentially all nanoparticles immersed in biological fluids, and governs their interactions with the biological environment. Key aspects of protein corona formation and its structure and dynamics have yet remained elusive and call for further investigations.
Flexible Electroluminescent Device for Modular Sensing Applications
Researchers introduce a new device concept for electroluminescent displays, which does not require transparent electrodes and can be used as remotely readable, spatially-responsive sensors that emit light in response to the accumulation and distribution of materials on the device surface.
Hydrogel Microparticles Protecting against Counterfeit and Deteriorated Products
Multi-functional, biodegradable hydrogel microparticles that provide information on the authenticity and the potential deterioration of a tagged food or pharmaceutical formulation directly prior to consumption/use is presented.
Mechanical and Piezoelectric Properties of PZT and LNKN Ceramic Foams
In this work multifunctional composites of porous piezoelectric foams made of lead zirconate titanate are compared to ecologically beneficial lead-free lithium sodium potassium niobate.
