Towards a unified technology platform for sensing in liquids

为液体传感建立统一的技术平台。该项目旨在使用一种新的传感平台进行水中碳氢化合物监测，以发展悬浮微结构的光学片上位置传感。微机电系统在传感技术领域占据主导地位;它们在智能手机、汽车、航空航天和军事应用中很常见。然而，这个数十亿美元的行业未能使化学/生物传感有利可图，主要是由于缺乏用于在液体中进行传感的稳健且紧凑的读出技术。该项目预计将导致一个统一的并行传感平台的最终灵敏度提供水传感广泛的应用和市场。

Towards a unified technology platform for sensing in liquids. This project aims to use a new sensing platform for hydrocarbon monitoring in water to evolve optical on-chip position sensing of suspended micro-structures. Microelectromechanical systems dominate the world in sensing technology; they are common in smartphone, automotive, aerospace, and military applications. However, this multibillion dollar industry has failed to make chem/bio sensing profitable, mostly due to the absence of a robust and compact read-out technology for sensing in liquids. This project is expected to lead to a unified parallel sensing platform of ultimate sensitivity delivering aqueous sensing for wide ranging applications and markets.
