Double CSRR for water content detection in biological matter (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
La Spada, L., Bilotti, F., & Vegni, L. (2011, September). Double CSRR for water content detection in biological matter. Presented at 4th EOS Topical Meeting on Optical Microsystems (OµS’11), Capri, Italy

In this study, a low-cost, compact, and high-performing metamaterial-based biosensor operating in the THz frequency range is presented. The sensor is designed to detect the presence of water content in biological matter by spectral absorption measure... Read More about Double CSRR for water content detection in biological matter.

Metamaterial-based design of biological sensors operating at THz frequencies (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
La Spada, L., Bilotti, F., & Vegni, L. (2011, October). Metamaterial-based design of biological sensors operating at THz frequencies

In this contribution, we present an omega-shaped electromagnetic resonator, which is of potential interest for THz biosensors. A new analytical model for such an inclusion-type is developed, considering the effects of the fringing capacitance. After...

Fossil fuels are a finite resource, which are subject to erratic price fluctuations and are contributing to disruption of the global carbon cycle. There is a requirement to establish a renewable, sustainable and secure fuel source that can reduce wor...
