  • Epidermal Electronics for Non-Invasive, Real-Time Health Monitoring 

    Human interactions with the environment and with others generate mechano-acoustic (MA) signals that encode rich information about physiological and biomechanical processes. Although these signals often attenuate at the skin-air interface, epidermal electronics provide a powerful means to capture them, offering a transformative approach for non-invasive, real-time health monitoring. We present a soft, skin-mounted MA sensing […]

  • DMI/MEMS Seminar Presented by Prof. Carlos Castro

    Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side A, room 1464

    Title: Nanomechanical DNA devices to program collective dynamics and interrogate biomolecules Abstract: Structural DNA nanotechnology is an emerging field with exciting potential for applications such as single molecule sensing, drug delivery, imaging, and biophysical measurements. DNA nanodevices are particularly well-suited to interface with and manipulate biomolecules in vitro and in vivo because of the ability […]
