Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes Enabled Flexible And Scalable CO2 Sensors


This work, we have demonstrated a low-cost and effective chemiresistive CO2 sensor based on a composite of functionalized carbon nanotubes (f-CNTs) with polyethyleneimine (PEI). The resulting sensor shows excellent selectivity and sensitivity, which can respond to the CO2 concentration in a wide range of 300 - 5000 ppm. The effects of ink dilution and humidity from the environment on the sen... » read more

Why Countermeasures Are Needed To Prevent Practical, Non-Invasive Attacks Against CNT-PUFs

Abstract: "As the number of devices being interconnected increases, so does also the d... » read more

Manufacturing Bits: Oct. 12


MoSi2 pellicles for EUV Hanyang University has presented a paper that describes a novel molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2) pellicle membrane for use in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. With a 28nm thickness, a MoSi2 membrane has demonstrated a 89.33% transmittance for EUV lithography. The pellicle technology is still in R&D. MoSi2, which is a silicide of molybdenum, is a refractory cer... » read more
