Retinomorphic Sensors
This sensor, intended for use in computer vision applications, only produces a signal in response to changes in light conditions. Background Inspired by the way retinal cells respond to light, retinomorphic sensors are hoped to enable faster identification of moving objects than software-based approaches. Unlike conventional optical sensors, such...

Improved Thin Film
Background Thin film deposition of metal oxide materials from aqueous solution is challenged by the solubility and gelling behavior of precursors. For example, some metal cations are poorly soluble at neutral pH, but added acid or base is detrimental to substrate stability and film adherence. In addition, soluble salts of metal cations tend to crystallize...
