Cover Story: “Virtus Unita Fortior!” Synthetic sensing materials are some of the most attractive components of chemical/biosensors because of their long-term stability and low-cost of production. For the construction of artificial material-based sensors, the bottom-up assembly of these materials is one of the effective methods. This is because the driving forces of molecular recognition on the receptors could be enhanced by the integration of such kinds of materials at the ‘interfaces’. Thus, synthetic receptor membrane-based nanosensors can be applied to powerful tools for high-throughput analyses of the required targets. In this review, we summarize a comprehensive overview that includes the preparation techniques for molecular assemblies, the characterization methods of the interfaces, and a few examples of receptor assembly-based chemical/biosensing platforms on each transduction mechanism.View this paper.

Enhancement of Photoemission on p-Type GaAs Using Surface Acoustic Waves

  • Boqun Dong,
  • Andrei Afanasev,
  • Rolland Johnson and
  • Mona Zaghloul

24 April 2020

We demonstrate that photoemission properties of p-type GaAs can be altered by surface acoustic waves (SAWs) generated on the GaAs surface due to dynamical piezoelectric fields of SAWs. Multiphysics simulations indicate that charge-carrier recombinati...

Perception of a Haptic Stimulus Presented Under the Foot Under Workload

  • Landry Delphin Chapwouo Tchakoute and
  • Bob-Antoine J. Menelas

24 April 2020

It is clear that the haptic channel can be exploited as a communication medium for several tasks of everyday life. Here we investigated whether such communication can be altered in a cognitive load situation. We studied the perception of a vibrotacti...
