TL;DR: This report combined the electrical biasing with the application of mechanical stress, which impacts the charge carriers' concentration, to achieve an electrically controlled giant piezoresistance in nanowires.

TL;DR: Self-sealing fluidics channels with circular cross-sections having diameters ranging between 30 and 2000 nm on a 200 mm glass wafer through CMOS compatible processes offers a means of integrating electrochemical and optical sensing on the same platform, for biological research.

TL;DR: In this paper, a membrane pressure sensor with embedded piezoresistive silicon nanowires (NW) has been demonstrated to have an ultra-sensitive response of ( Δ R / R ) / Δ P of 13 Pa −1, achieved through the effective tuning of the transverse electric field across the NW.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a device for analysing the status of a biological entity, which consists of a substantially transparent base substrate (10) having a recess defined by at least two opposing lateral walls and a base wall, a substantially opaque filler member (14) having at least a portion of the recess occupying the recess, a substantial transparent separation layer (15) disposed between the filler member and the base substrate, and a channel (16) defined in the filler members, wherein the channel comprises an inlet and an outlet, the inlet being arranged on a first

TL;DR: A biohybrid micro-device consisting of silicon nanowires as electromechanical strain sensors, embedded in a suspended doubly-clamped silicon dioxide (SiO2) microbridge for the investigation of cellular attachment and detachment dynamics is proposed.
