Summary: This article discusses the high-temperature operation and temperature sensing mechanism of a depletion-mode AlGaN/GaN MISHEMT, showing that the device's high sensitivity is influenced by traps at the GaN-cap/Si3N4 interface and in the GaN buffer layer. The device demonstrates a temperature sensitivity of 8.73%/K at a drain-to-source current of 10μA/mm, comparable to silicon devices but over a wider temperature range and at higher current densities.

Summary: In this study, AlGaN/GaN HEMT sensors with O-2 plasma treated TiO2 film as the gate electrode were fabricated for ultrafast ppb-level carbon monoxide (CO) detection in dry air atmosphere. The O-2 plasma treatment increased the effective work function of TiO2 film, resulting in a noticeable decrease in HEMT drain current. When CO gas was introduced, the reduction reaction weakened the strength of the dipole layer formed, leading to a decrease in the effective work function of TiO2 electrode and a significant increase in HEMT conduction current. The gas sensor exhibited a response time of approximately 100 s and a conduction current variation of 0.15 mA for CO concentration down to 10 ppb. Moreover, it demonstrated ultrafast response time, high resolution, and long-term stability for CO concentrations above 500 ppb.

Summary: This paper presents a new self-powered mechanical sensing technology based on vertical piezo-optoelectronic coupling. By applying mechanical stress or strain to the 3C-SiC/Si heterojunction, the photogenerated voltage can be changed. Experimental results demonstrate a highly linear relationship between strain and vertical photovoltage, increasing under tensile strain and decreasing under compressive strain. The proposed technology exhibits significantly larger strain sensitivities compared to lateral piezo-optoelectronic couplings reported in literature. The enhancement in strain sensitivity opens up possibilities for the development of ultra-sensitive and self-powered mechanical sensors.

Summary: Electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA) is a precise method for controlling particle size and production rate, but the highly charged particles generated by conventional methods are not suitable for inhalation drug delivery. Researchers have developed a self-propelled EHDA system that can generate and deliver charge-reduced particles in one step. This system uses a sharp electrode to create ion wind, reducing the cumulative charge in the particles and transporting them to a target position. The technique has shown effective control over the morphologies of polymer products and has been proven safe for bioapplications, making it a versatile tool for drug delivery.

Summary: Inertial microfluidics is a technique that uses the finite inertia of fluid at high flow speed to manipulate and separate microparticles. Embedding periodic micro-obstacles into curvilinear channels has been found to be an effective strategy to improve inertial focusing and separation. This study systematically investigated the influence of micro-obstacles on inertial focusing and developed a high-resolution microfluidic device for particle and cell separation. The results showed that concave obstacles were more effective in tuning particle inertial focusing and separation compared to convex obstacles, and the square concave obstacle channel offered the highest separation resolution. The developed microfluidic device showed high-efficiency separation of polystyrene beads and U87MG cancer cells from blood.
