Jim Bickford is leading the Thin Film Isotope Nuclear Engine Rocket (TFINER) project to develop a system for propelling a craft through space faster and farther than ever before. This technology has ...

(a) Schematic of the proposed laser-induced double-layer films compared to the conventional thermal sintering. (a-i) Schematic of the material and morphology of the film before and after laser direct ...

The flexible PBST is designed to suit a large array of pressure and vacuum measurement, control, and monitoring applications for liquids and gases. It combines an electronic pressure switch, pressure ...

Abstract: Liquid metal is a room-temperature liquid conductor, which has nontoxic and highly conductive properties. Flexible sensors made of liquid metal and flexible substrates have been widely used ...

Semiconductor devices are becoming thinner and more complex, making thin deposited films even harder to measure and control. With 3nm node devices in production and 2nm nodes ramping toward ...

Institute of Railway and Urban Rail Transit, Tongji University, Shanghai, China This study describes a method for preparing thermocouple sensor based on NiCr/NiSi thin films. Using magnetron ...

Environmental temperature fluctuations can cause sensor output variations separate from measured pressure. A sensor’s thermal sensitivity dictates the severity of these output errors, with higher ...
