Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a widely used fluorescence-based sensing mechanism. To date, most implementations of FRET sensors have relied on a discrete donor-acceptor pair for detection of each analytical target. FRET networks are an emerging concept in which target recognition perturbs a set of interconnected FRET pathways between ...

Printed electronics have been considered to bring about the ICT (Information Communication Technology) revolution. The high-throughput production of the ultra-low-cost printed devices along with the level of integration of logic gates via an all roll-to-roll (R2R) printing method has been the major axes in the revolution. However, there have been c...
The wide bandgap of silicon carbide (SiC) has attracted a large interest over the past years in many research fields, such as power electronics, high operation temperature circuits, harsh environmental sensing, and more. To facilitate research on complex integrated SiC circuits, ensure reproducibility, and cut down cost, the availability of a low-v...

Current Si-based technologies have reached their intrinsic limits in meeting the demands of flexible electronics where free-form factors and low cost are critical for successful applications. For this reason, roll-to-roll (R2R) gravure printing has been considered a way to achieve the free-form factor and the low cost. However, the R2R gravure syst...
This paper describes the implementation of the novel Nano-sheet FET (NS-FET) for the 3-nm CMOS technology node in Microwind. After a general presentation of the electronic market and the roadmap to the atomic scale, design rules and basic metrics for the 3-nm node are presented. Concepts related to the design of NS-FET and design for manufacturing ...

Mechanical-strain-gated switches are cornerstone components of material-embedded circuits that perform logic operations without using conventional electronics. This technology requires a single material system to exhibit three distinct functionalities: strain-invariant conductivity and an increase or decrease of conductivity upon mechanical deforma...

Gene transcriptional process is random. It occurs in bursts and follows single-molecular kinetics. Intermittent bursts are measured based on their frequency and size. They influence temporal fluctuations in the abundance of total mRNA and proteins by generating distinct transcriptional variations referred to as “noise”. Noisy expression induces unc...

In photoluminescence spectroscopy experiments, the interaction mode of the polymer membrane Nafion with various amino-acids was studied. The experiments were performed with physiological NaCl solutions prepared in an ordinary water (the deuterium content is 157 ± 1 ppm) and also in deuterium-depleted water (the deuterium content is ≤1 ppm). These s...

Tumor biomarker-based theranostics have achieved broad interest and success in recent years. However, single biomarker-based recognition can cause false-positive feedback, including the on-target off-tumor phenomenon, in the absence of tumor-specific antigen. Multibiomarker-based recognition molecules often elicit nonspecific and undesired internal...
