This paper investigates the use of a Magnetite Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) Graphene array sensor in ultra-wide band (UWB) spectrum for microwave imaging applications operated within 4.0-8.0 GHz. The proposed array microwave sensor comprises a Graphene array radiating patch, as well as ground and transmission lines with a substrate of Magnetite PDMS-Ferrite, which is fed by 50 Ω coaxial ports. The Magnetite PDMS substrate associated with low permittivity and low loss tangent realized bandwidth enhancement and the high conductivity of graphene, contributing to a high gain of the UWB array antenna. The combination of 30% (ferrite) and 70% (PDMS) as the sensor's substrate resulted in low permittivity as well as a low loss tangent of 2.6 and 0.01, respectively. The sensor radiated within the UWB band frequency of 2.2-11.2 (GHz) with great energy emitted in the range of 3.5-15.7 dB. Maximum energy of 15.7 dB with 90 × 45 (mm) in small size realized the integration of the sensor for a microwave detection system. The material components of sensor could be implemented for solar panel.

Low-power gas sensors that can be used in IoT (Internet of Things) systems, consumer devices, and point-of-care devices will enable new applications in environmental monitoring and health protection. We fabricated a monolithic chemiresistive gas sensor by integrating a micro-lightplate with a 2D sensing material composed of single-layer graphene and monolayer-thick TiO. Applying ultraviolet (380 nm) light with quantum energy above the TiO bandgap effectively enhanced the sensor responses.

Recognizing human body motions opens possibilities for real-time observation of users' daily activities, revolutionizing continuous human healthcare and rehabilitation. While some wearable sensors show their capabilities in detecting movements, no prior work could detect full-body motions with wireless devices. Here, we introduce a soft electronic textile-integrated system, including nanomaterials and flexible sensors, which enables real-time detection of various full-body movements using the combination of a wireless sensor suit and deep-learning-based cloud computing.

Existing biomedical imaging modalities are often restricted by their substantial size, high costs, and potential risks associated with ionizing radiation exposure. Given these challenges, there is an urgent need for innovative imaging systems that not only excel in detection performance but are also compact, cost-effective, and ensure safety for biomedical applications. In response to these requirements, our research introduces an advanced terahertz (THz) microbolometer array imaging system (MAIS), specifically engineered for biomedical detection.

Wearable sensors are increasingly being used as biosensors for health monitoring. Current wearable devices are large, heavy, invasive, skin irritants, or not continuous. Miniaturization was chosen to address these issues, using a femtosecond laser-conversion technique to fabricate miniaturized laser-induced graphene (LIG) sensor arrays on and encapsulated within a polyimide substrate.
