(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is an important thermosetting elastomer for microfluidic devices because it can replicate nano-scale features and form flexible membranes useful for microactuation. PDMS is used extensively in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)The phenomenal resolution and versatility of the atomic force microscope (AFM), has made it a widely-used instrument in nanotechnology. In this thesis, a detailed model of AFM dynamics has been developed. It includes a new ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Piezoelectric Micro-Hydraulic Transducers are compact high power density transducers, which can function bi-directionally as actuators/micropumps and/or power generators. They are designed to generate 0.5-1W power at ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Drip irrigation is a means of distributing the exact amount of water a plant needs by dripping water directly onto the root zone. It can produce up to 90% more crops than rain-fed irrigation, and reduce water consumption ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Material separation technology is critical to the success of the material recycling industry. End-of-life products, post-consumer waste, industrial excess, or otherwise collected materials for reuse are typically mixed ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Heat build-up in prosthetic sockets is a significant problem experienced by many amputees in America, with no central solution in sight. Heat and discomfort accounts for over 70% of problems experienced by lower limb ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)There has been renewed interest over the past decade or two in the potential of using thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems for direct conversion of thermal energy into electricity. The invention of TPV systems can be traced ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Self-assembling micron-scale structures based on standard photolithographic and thin film deposition techniques are investigated. Differences in residual stress between successive thin film layers causes the structures to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Marine mammal whistle calls present an attractive medium for covert underwater communications. High quality models of the whistle calls are needed in order to synthesize natural-sounding whistles with embedded information. ...
