This article describes the enhanced sensitivity to a viscous medium by a molecular rotor based fluorophore (RBF), TPSI I. The TPSI I molecule is designed in such a way that it consists of a rotor and a fluorophore with a ...

A comprehensive design flow is proposed for the design of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems that are fabricated using SO Mumps process. Many of the designers typically do not model the temperature dependency of electrical ...

MEMS resonators have potential applications in the areas of RF-MEMS, clock oscillators, ultrasound transducers, etc. The important characteristics of a resonator are its resonant frequency and Q-factor (a measure of damping). ...

MEMS resonators are designed for a fixed resonant frequency. Therefore, any shift in the resonant frequency of the final fabricated structure can be a denting factor for its suitability towards a desired application. There ...

Micro electrical discharge machining (MEDM), a scaled down version of EDM process, is a micro machining process used to fabricate micro holes and intricate shapes in electrically conductive materials irrespective of its ...

Ductile and brittle materials differ in their physical and mechanical properties and pose distinct interaction with the cutting tool while nano-machining. It is thus imperative to analyse the mechanism of material removal ...

The authors regret that the model equations and the model codes used in the original article contained errors. Specifically, Eq.(20) of the original article omitted a liquid phase electrical potential term. Further, the ...

A rough surface of any engineering material exhibits high surface energy which results in higher potential energy or cohesive energy of the material, and it affects both optical as well as chemical properties. In this ...

Prediction of material removal in any machining process is usually based on the input machining parameters. However, apart from controllable parameters, there are various other parameters that needs to be monitored in real ...

Electrical-discharge machining (EDM) process is one of the extensively used processes for machining difficult-to-cut electrically conductive materials. With miniaturization, EDM is also capable of machining in the micro ...
