The objective of this project is to develop and demonstrate a microwave flow cytometer technique for online detection, differentiation and counting of solid particles and spiked Escherichia coli (E. coli) in filtered water. The total number of particles, particle size distribution between 0.5 and 5 microns, E. coli and E. coli viability in water samples will be obtained without using chemical rea ...

We propose a platform for aerial environmental monitoring based on the integration of two advanced technologies for the first time: a lightweight, flying robotic platform capable of hovering and swarming, and a compact, low-power chemical sensor platform called the Molecular Property Spectrometer (MPS): a robust, low-cost, silicon-chip-based micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) that has been use ...

A collaboration between research engineers at Solid State Scientific Corporation and the University of MassachusettsBoston proposes the exploration of a new class of superconducting traveling wave parametric amplifier (TWPA) that exploits the large nonlinear inductance of a unique quantum device known as a superinductor. The nonlinear properties of the superinductor provide high gain of weak sign ...
