Uncooled thermal infrared detection near the fundamental limit using a silicon nitride nanomechanical resonator with a broadband absorber
Thermal time constant
Figure 2 a shows the frequency response to intensity-modulated IR radiation for a 1000 μm membrane, designed to be measured at its (2,2) mode. The time constant was calculated using the 90-10 method. The results of the…

Assessing the capability of electrical capacitance tomography for monitoring chopped maize mass flow rates in field forage harvesters
Plant material
The research material, unique in composition, comprised whole maize plants of the Inagua variety, a medium-late variety (FAO number 230–240) cultivated explicitly for grain and silage. These maize plants were manually harvested…

High kinetic inductance cavity arrays for compact band engineering and topology-based disorder meters
Platform
We design, simulate, fabricate, and investigate 1-dimensional (1D) CCAs comprising rectangular-shaped (Fig. 1a, b) and hexagonal-shaped base units (Fig. 1c, d). Each CCA is fabricated from a high kinetic inductance NbN thin film (see…

Influence of topology on the critical behavior of hierarchical modular neuronal networks
Hierarchical network architecture
The ER and KN networks were constructed by first establishing a single module of N neurons. This module is assigned the initial hierarchical level H = 0, and additional modules are progressively created by…
