Enhanced sensitivity of silicon-photonics-based ultrasound detection via BCB coating [PDF]
Ultrasound detection via silicon waveguides relies on the ability of acoustic waves to modulate the effective refractive index of the guided modes. However, the low photo-elastic response of silicon and silica limits the sensitivity of conventional silicon-on-insulator (SOI) sensors, in which the silicon core is surrounded by a silica cladding.

Design of a half-ring plasmonic tweezers for environmental monitoring
An integrated near-field plasmonic tweezers, based on two gold half-ring elements, is proposed. The device consists of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguide on which two symmetric half-ring-shaped elements are deposited.

Sono‐Piezo‐Photosynthesis of Ethylene and Acetylene from Bioethanol under Ambient Conditions
A novel sono‐piezo‐photocatalytic strategy enables the conversion of bioethanol to ethylene (C2H4) and acetylene (C2H2) under ambient conditions, addressing the limitations of conventional methods that are high‐temperature and energy‐intensive. By using an advanced graphene oxide/sodium bismuth titanate heterostructure catalyst, this work achieved ...

Demonstration of 4H silicon carbide on aluminum nitride integrated photonics platform [PDF]
The existing silicon-carbide-on-insulator photonic platform utilizes a thin layer of silicon dioxide under silicon carbide to provide optical confinement and mode isolation. Here, we replace the underneath silicon dioxide layer with a 1-$\mu$m-thick aluminum nitride and demonstrate a 4H-silicon-carbide-on-aluminum-nitride integrated photonics platform ...

A Novel Approach to Implementing Artificial Thalamic Neurons with Ferroelectric Transistors
Artificial neurons created using CMOS technology often require a large number of transistors and capacitors. This study introduces an artificial thalamic neuron that employs only five CMOS compatible ferroelectric transistors. The manufactured thalamic neuron demonstrates leaky integrate‐and‐fire‐or‐burst (LIFB) functionalities, featuring self ...
