Sensors to be designed to operate under extreme conditions, such as those found in defense and security situations
The research team from North Carolina State University integrated vanadium oxide, a sensor material, and integrated it onto a silicon chip. By not having to be connected to a computer, the mobile “smart sensor” can interpret and respond quickly to information in its environment. These research findings were just published last month; the research team includes Dr. Jay Narayan, Dr. Roger Narayan, and PhD students Tsung Han Yang, Ravi Aggarwal, A. Gupta, and H. Zhou. The project received funding from the NSF.
