- Molecular Interactions (MI; Unrau, Paetzel, Forde & Yavuz): Detection of gases in air and solvents or biological molecules in liquids requires specific molecular interactions that can be transformed to a detectable signal. Such interactions in modern sensors typically take place within structured nanomaterials and / or upon nano-structured or -patterned surfaces. Visit Molecular Interactions (MI)
- Micro-Fluidics (MF; Gray, Yu, Forde & Yavuz): Molecular detection requires a mechanism to reliably deliver samples to the sensor unit from the environment. Such micro-scale engineering must be consistent with the sensor form factor and function. Visit Micro-Fluidics (MF)
- Sensor Fabrication (SF; Adachi, Gates, Kavanagh, Gray, Yavuz & Bajcsy): Miniaturized, electronically enabled sensors require advanced fabrication methodologies compatible with the molecular interaction strategies and fluidics delivery systems, to enable robust and high-fidelity signal processing at low cost. Visit Sensor Fabrication (SF)
- Nano-scale surface and particle Metrology (NM; Gates, Kavanagh & Forde): Nano metrology is essential for the development of reproducible detector material synthesis and sensor fabrication protocols that can meet the national and international standards required for mass production and government certification.
