Nanomaterials are used to diagnose, treat, and prevent the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Its potential is highlighted through specific applications and developments carried out by researchers around the world. In addition to highlighting the characteristics and properties of the COVID-19 virus, the purpose of the chapter is focused on describing the role that nanomaterials are playing and that must be overcome due to the pandemic. Future research directions are described to guide readers on the innovations that are required related to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. The impact that nanomaterials will have on COVID-19 will reduce the time for humans to return to the rhythm of life before the pandemic.

Both materials have electronic, thermal, magnetic, optical, chemical, and mechanical extraordinary properties. International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) has predicted that these nanomaterials are potential replacements of the conventional materials used in the manufacture of integrated circuits. Two of the technological aspects that both materials share and have reduced their extensive use are processing and dispersion required to homogenize the electrical properties of the materials based on them. Fortunately, these problems are being solved thanks to the ongoing investigation, and in a short time the materials used in today's electronics industry will be replaced by devices based on these novel materials. The impact of the applications of both materials in the...

Sclerotia comprising hardened mycelium contains food reserves that allow it to remain dormant for long period, which makes the sclerotia-infested soil useless to grow any crop of the Allium species, including onion and garlic. This paper would be the first report on the application of two-photon fluorescence microscopy to the analysis of the structure of sclerotia from S. cepivorum. For this study and, in order to test the method, two different types of sclerotia were used: (1) sclerotia isolated from naturally infested soil and (2) sclerotia produced in vitro (from 20-day-old cultures). Both types of sclerotia were processed by cryopreservation and eight µm histological cuts were used to obtain an autofluorescence image. For both sclerotia, the fluorescence spectrum has three peak signals at their wall. Sclerotia from infested soil presented fluorescence peaks at 400-436, 436-475, and 515-575 nm, while signals from sclerotia produced in vitro presented fluorescence peaks at 400-442, 500-600, and 655-700 nm. Peaks at the violet electromagnetic region (400-436 and 400-442) are like that of the signals reported by the melanin. This study showed that two-photon microscopy is a novel and valuable tool for the study of sclerotia structure and their fluorescence signal, and the possibility of using it as a specific marker to direct detection in the field should be explored.

The circular antenna was designed with a simple design equation, which requires only knowing the group wavelength, the effective permittivity and the operation frequency. This equation is recommended for FR-4, among other frequencies, at the frequency used here. The simulations are realized using CADFEKO, software based on the Moment Method (MoM). The low cost of the antenna is based on the substrate material used. The interest in pentagonal geometry is due to its relationship with the golden ratio, a mathematical concept very useful for engineering.

It was analyzed with a uniform and modified thin arm, as well as a similar variation in the corresponding flexure, in order to observe the impact of the compliant lumped mechanism. The use of these compliant mechanisms implies an increment in the deformation and a reduction in the equivalent stress of 25% and 52.25%, respectively. This characterization was developed using the Finite Element Method (FEM) in ANSYS Workbench. The design, analysis and simulation were developed with Polysilicon. In this study, the following performance parameters were also analyzed: force and temperature distribution. This device is supplied with voltage from 0 V up to 3 V, at room temperature. The modified U-shaped actuator was applied in both arms of a microgripper, and to evaluate its electrothermal performance, a static structural analysis has been carried out in Ansys Workbench. The microgripper has an incremen...

The use of conventional piezoelectric buzzers allows us to reduce fabrication costs. The working or mobile platform is the base for objects that will be manipulated, for example, in automated assembling. The micropositioner can be integrated into a microgripper to generate a complete manipulation system. For micropositioner fabrication, at first, Polylactic Acid (PLA) was chosen as the structural material, but after simulation and some experimental tests performed with a micropositioner made of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), it showed larger displacement (approx. 20%) due to its lower stiffness. A third test was performed with a positioner made with Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG), obtaining an intermediate performance. The originality of this work resides in the geometrical arrangement based on thermoplast...

This knowledge is useful in order to not exceed its limit of elasticity that means, to avoid permanent deformations, which can totally modify the performance of the system. In this paper, theoretical and simulated results of the normal stress generated in the folded beams of an accelerometer, under constant acceleration, are presented. The system under analysis has a suspended mass by means of four flat beams. The analysis was realized considering a cantilever, because this element is used as beam of support. A uniformly distributed load is present on the suspension beams. In simulations, 1g (9.81 m/s2) was applied to several accelerometers with different dimensions and geometries, with the purpose of observing that the normal stress should not exceed the elastic limit of silicon.
