One of the most fundamental technical problems concerning spacecraft design is preparing the vehicle to survive the extreme conditions encountered…
Field Emitter Arrays (FEAs) are excellent cold cathodes, but they have not found widespread adoption in demanding device applications because…
Retarding potential analyzers (RPAs) were first developed in the 1960′s. RPAs find widespread application including characterization of near-spacecraft environments and…
This project aims to develop the technology for field-enabled low-power portable vacuum sources that can be made cheaply and reliably,…
Organic semiconductor-based devices can easily be scaled to large areas and fabricated on flexible, elastic, and non-planar surfaces at low…
A near-ultraviolet (UV) sensor based on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires (NWs) that is sensitive to photo excitation at or below…
Optically transparent, wide band gap metal oxide semiconductors are a promising candidate for large area flexible electronics. Because most commercially…
