The biological haircell is a modular building block of a rich variety of biological sensors.
Using micro-and nanofabrication technology, an engineering equivalent artificial haircell …

Designing small structures necessitates an a priori understanding of various device
behaviors. The way to gain such understanding is to construct, analyze, and interpret the …

This lecture explores the emerging area of reconfigurable antennas from basic concepts that
provide insight into fundamental design approaches to advanced techniques and examples …

Integrating origami principles within traditional microfabrication methods can produce shape
morphing microscale metamaterials and 3D systems with complex geometries and …

This paper describes a novel microassembly system that can be used to construct out-of-
plane three-dimensional (3-D) microstructures. The system makes use of a surface …

Nearly all underwater vehicles and surface ships today use sonar and vision for imaging
and navigation. However, sonar and vision systems face various limitations, eg, sonar blind …

Arrays of MEMS fabricated flow sensors inspired by the acoustic flow-sensitive hairs found
on the cerci of crickets have been designed, fabricated and characterized. The hairs consist …

This paper presents the modelling, design, fabrication and characterization of flow sensors
based on the wind-receptor hairs of crickets. Cricket sensory hairs are highly sensitive to …

We discuss two types of micromachined flow sensors realized by using novel
microfabrication processes—a hot-wire anemometer (based on thermal transfer) and a …
