Analysis of magnetoelectric (ME) nanoparticles to understand their influence on magneto-elastic -electroporation (MEEP) on biological cells
The study showed that smart materials can be used to effectively target cells by using an external magnetic field (approximately 50 Oe, 60-100 Hz) and the application can be extended in the field of precision medicine. The magnitude is contingent on the type of target cell and the composition of the smart magnetoelectric material. The electric pulses generated from strain mediated magnetoelectric nanoparticles can influence the resting membrane potential and contribute to enhanced cellular conductivity due to particle-cell interaction(a process called nano-electroporation).
Wireless Sensors and IoT Platform
Raspberry Pi, microprocessor can be used in developing prototypes for SMART city applications using Wireless sensors. IoT Analytics platform such as ThingSpeak can be used to visualize and analyze real time data in the cloud.
Wireless Power Transmission via the concept of magnetic resonance.
The antennas were designed to allow coupling of magnetic resonance and were able to transfer power efficiently across the antennas over 1m with an efficiency of 62%. The resonant frequency used was 700 kHz and the primary challenge was the impedance mismatch (due to the addition of load) at the receiving antenna.
