Recently reported winged microelectronic systems offer passive flight mechanisms as a dispersal strategy for purposes in environmental monitoring, population surveillance, pathogen tracking, and other applications. Initial studies indicate potential technologies of this type, but advances structural responsive materials aerodynamically optimized geometries are necessary to improve the functionality expand modes operation. Here, we introduce environmentally degradable basis 3D fliers that...
Abstract Recent advances in passive flying systems inspired by wind-dispersed seeds contribute to increasing interest their use for remote sensing applications across large spatial domains the Lagrangian frame of reference. These concepts create possibilities developing and studying structures with performance characteristics operating mechanisms that lie beyond those found nature. Here, we demonstrate a hybrid flier system, fabricated through process controlled buckling, yield unusual...
A quantitative understanding of the coupled dynamics flow and particles in aerosol droplet transmission associated with speech remains elusive. Here, we summarize an effort that integrates insights into flow-particle induced by production plosive sounds during skin-integrated electronic systems for monitoring these sounds. In particular, uncover diffusive ballistic regimes separated a threshold particle size characterize Lagrangian acceleration pair dispersion. regime exhibit features...
