Traditionally, molecular analysis is performed in laboratories equipped with desktop instruments operated by specialized technicians. This paradigm has been changing in recent decades, as biosensor technology has become ...
The work presented in this dissertation is focused on the fabrication, integration and test of chemoresistive gas sensor devices and systems based on semiconducting nanowires (NWs). The first objective of this dissertation ...
The LHC injectors upgrade (LIU) project aims to boost the LHC luminosity by doubling the beam brightness with the construction of the new LINAC4, the first linear accelerator on the LHC chain. The brighter beams require ...
Despite the last 60 years have seen major advances in many scientific and technological inputs of drug Research and Development, the number of new molecules hitting the market per billion US dollars of R&D spending has ...
The main goal of this doctoral thesis is the development and optimization of inkjet- based technologies for hybrid electronic circuits manufacturing, as well contribute on the development of the incoming low cost electronics. ...
This doctoral thesis proposes and explores a new approach to lensless microscopy, focusing on making high resolution imaging ubiquitous and low cost. A short introduction to microscopy frames the state of current techniques: ...
Point-of-Care diagnostic tests enable monitor health conditions and obtain fast results close to the patient, reducing medical costs, and allowing the control of infectious outbreaks. The interest in developing Point-of-Care ...
Recently the property of some bacteria to exchange electrons with non-soluble electron acceptors, such as minerals, has been discovered. In addition, some of these bacteria can use electrodes as the final electron acceptor. ...
This doctoral thesis raises the idea that 3D printing can change the paradigm of radio- frequency electronics, which has been traditionally developed mainly conceiving planar topologies. A review on additive manufacturing ...
Gas sensors can be found in many activities ranging from environment protection, risk prevention, agriculture and even in food, chemical, and petrochemical industries. There exist different technologies for gas sensors ...
Printed electronics (PE) is a set of printing methods used to create electrical devices on various substrates. Printing typically uses common printing equipment suitable for defining patterns on material, such as screen ...
The soaring global demand for flexible, wearable and transparent devices has been driven by the advent of the Internet-of-Things (IoT), where smart electronic objects are expected to be, at anytime and everywhere, aware ...
The structure and physicochemical properties of biomembranes are fundamental for the functioning of cells, and many pathologies have been associated with their alteration (cancer, neurodegenerations, obesity, etc.) 1, 2. ...
Although an extensive number of investigators, during the arise of this printed materials technology, were devoted to make very interesting discoveries concerning the most used sol-gel precursor to thermally produce ZnO, ...
Growing global emission of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) reflects the world’s energy dependence on fossil fuels. The conversion of CO2 emission into value-added products, like fuels completes a circular CO2 economy which ...
There is an increasing need for developing innovative, versatile and low-cost point-of-care (POC) systems capable of screening for at early stages of development. POC systems usually consist of a biosensor part integrated ...
