Article Abstract

The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) project will design and build a 30-m-diameter telescope for research in astronomy in visible and infrared wavelengths. The primary mirror of TMT is made up of 492 hexagonal mirror segments under active control. The highly segmented primary mirror will utilize edge sensors to align and stabilize the relative piston, tip, and tilt degrees of segments. The support system assembly (SSA) of the segmented mirror utilizes a guide flexure to decouple the axial support and lateral support, while its deformation will cause measurement error of the edge sensor. We have analyzed the theoretical relationship between the segment movement and the measurement value of the edge sensor. Further, we have proposed an error correction method with a matrix. The correction process and the simulation results of the edge sensor will be described in this paper.

Simulations in three dimensions and time provide guidance on implantable, electroenzymatic glutamate sensor design; relative placement in planar sensor arrays; feasibility of sensing synaptic release events; and interpretation of sensor data. Electroenzymatic sensors based on the immobilization of oxidases on microelectrodes have proven valuable for the monitoring of neurotransmitter signaling in deep brain structures; however, the complex extracellular milieu featuring slow diffusive mass transport makes rational sensor design and data interpretation challenging. Simulations show that miniaturization of the disk-shaped device size below a radius of ∼25 μm improves sensitivity, spatial resolution, and the accuracy of glutamate concentration measurements based on calibration factors determined .

Flexible strain sensors are pivotal for the advancement of robotics, wearable healthcare, and human-machine interaction in the post-Moore era. However, conventional materials struggle to simultaneously achieve high sensitivity, a broad strain range, and low power consumption for cutting-edge applications. In this work, the issue is addressed through single crystal 1D tellurium nanoribbons (NRs), which are synthesized on SiO/Si substrate by hydrogen-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method.
