Mobile and miniaturized materials analysis

在过去的50年里，小型化的电子产品和低成本的无线技术极大地影响了我们的生活，使计算机和无处不在的电信等创新成为可能。在接下来的几十年里，它们还将在小型化和移动的材料分析中实现另一场革命。材料将不再需要带到实验室进行分析。这笔赠款将集中在电子系统的小型化和移动的材料分析，特别强调无源无线系统和微波频率的微流体生物材料分析。被动无线传感器将被连接和植入，并允许快速现场分析。微型微波频率微流体生物材料分析系统将快速部署便携式诊断。这些系统将对社会产生广泛的影响，从提高民用基础设施的安全到个性化的疾病治疗。

Miniaturized electronics and low cost wireless technology have dramatically influenced our lives in the past 50 years, enabling innovations such as the computer and ubiquitous telecommunications. Over the next few decades they will also enable another revolution in miniaturized and mobile materials analysis. Materials will no longed have to brought to laboratories for analysis. This grant will focus on electronic systems for miniaturized and mobile materials analysis, with particular emphasis on passive wireless systems and microwave frequency biomaterials analysis in microfluidics. Passive wireless sensors will be attached and implanted and allowing rapid onsite analysis. Miniaturized microwave frequency microfluidic biomaterial analysis systems will be rapidly deployable for portable diagnostics. These systems will have broad impact on society ranging from increased safety of civil infrastructure to personalized treatment of disease.
