Spherical surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor Spherical surface acoustic wave sensors use a type of surface acoustic wave (SAW) that travels along the surface of a medium exhibiting elasticity with exponentially decaying amplitude along depth. MEMS-IDT technology allows the use of SAW waves to sense various gases. Sensi... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39594285 |
Frustrated triangular lattice Geometrical frustration occurs when a set of degrees of freedom is incompatible with the space it occupies. A purely geometric example of this is the impossibility of close-packing pentagons in two dimensions. Another is atomic magnetic moments with antiferromagnetic interactions. These mo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39625286 |

Graphene foam is a solid, open-cell foam made of single-layer sheets of graphene. It is a candidate substrate for the electrode of lithium-ion batteries. The foam can be manufactured using vapor deposition to coat a metal foam, a three-dimensional mesh of metal filaments. The metal is then removed. A physically flexibl... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39650838 |
