Miniaturized liquid metal composite circuits with energy harvesting coils for b...
Rocha, Denis; Lopes, Pedro; Peixoto, Paulo; de Almeida, Aníbal; Mahmoud, TavakoliOver the past years, rapid progress has been made on soft-matter electronics for wearable and implantable devices, for bioelectronics and optogenetics. Liquid Metal (LM) based electronics were especially popular, due to their long-term durability, when subject to repetitive strain cycles. However, one major limitation has been the need for tethering bioelectronics circuits to external power, or the use of rigid...
Smart Thermostats for a Campus Microgrid: Demand Control and Improving Air Quality
Correia, Alexandre; Ferreira, Luís Miguel; Coimbra, Paulo; Moura, Pedro; de Almeida, AníbalAchieving nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB) is one of the main objectives defined by the European Union for achieving carbon neutrality in buildings. nZEBs are heavily reliant on distributed renewable generation energy sources, which create new challenges associated with their inherent intermittency. To achieve nZEB levels, demand management plays an essential role to balance supply and demand. Since up to tw...
