Methodology for Safe and Effective Subcutaneous Implantation of Wireless Biotelemetry Sensor Devices in Rodents.

In this work, a methodology for assessing the impact of implantation surgery on laboratory mice on behavior was created. The study included the design of several implants fabricated on various printed circuit board (PCB) technologies with overall diameters between 26-28mm and weights between 4.5-6.

Polar Organic Gate Dielectrics for Graphene Field-Effect Transistor-Based Sensor Technology.

We have pioneered the use of liquid polar organic molecules as alternatives to rigid gate-dielectrics for the fabrication of graphene field-effect transistors. The unique high net dipole moment of various polar organic molecules allows for easy manipulation of graphene's conductivity due to the formation of an electrical double layer with a high-capacitance at the liquid and graphene interface. Here, we compare the performances of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), acetonitrile, propionamide, and valeramide as polar organic liquid dielectrics in graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs).
