Electromechanically active materials compatible with Si-based microfabrication technologies
Towards Si-compatible and biocompatible electromechanically active materials Weizmann for #overflyBioWings Materials developing mechanical strain under external electric field are a backbone of a larger variety of modern technologies ranging from ultrasonic medical imaging to cellular phones. There are, however, very few electromechanically active materials that are compatible with Si-based microfabrication technologies and biocompatible. A few years ago, we have reported that Gd-doped ceria (GDC), a material commonly used in fuel cells, exhibits unexpectedly large
Nanoconfined oxides with promising electro-chemo-mechanical properties – BioWings
Nanoconfined oxides with promising electro-chemo-mechanical properties DTU for #overflyBioWings Functional oxide materials are of particular interest due to the fascinating physical properties, such as superconductivity, ferroelectricity, ferromagnetic, electronic, ionic and catalytic properties. Such richness arises from a strong interaction between the charge, orbital, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom and can be largely tailored via for example chemical modification and/or microstructure optimization. In particular, interfacing two different oxide-based materials results in broken

BioWings website is online
The European-funded FET-OPEN project BioWings has officially started his dissemination campaign through the launch of the project website. The on-line kick-off is just the first step of a structured communication and dissemination plan, which will include the involvement of social media tools (like LinkedIn and Facebook), as well as off-line activities such as the direct interaction with relevant stakeholders and the participation in industrial- and research-related events. The current website is intended
