    Entirely flexible on-site conditioned magnetic sensorics
    (Hoboken, NJ : Wiley, 2016) Münzenrieder, Niko; Karnaushenko, Daniil; Petti, Luisa; Cantarella, Giuseppe; Vogt, Christian; Büthe, Lars; Karnaushenko, Dmitriy D.; Schmidt, Oliver G.; Makarov, Denys; Tröster, Gerhard
    The first entirely flexible integrated magnetic field sensor system is realized consisting of a flexible giant magnetoresistive bridge on‐site conditioned using high‐performance IGZO‐based readout electronics. The system outperforms commercial fully integrated rigid magnetic sensors by at least one order of magnitude, whereas all components stay fully functional when bend to a radius of 5 mm.

    Compact helical antenna for smart implant applications
    (London : Nature Publishing Group, 2015) Karnaushenko, Dmitriy D.; Karnaushenko, Daniil; Makarov, Denys; Schmidt, Oliver G.
    Smart implants are envisioned to revolutionize personal health care by assessing physiological processes, for example, upon wound healing, and communicating these data to a patient or medical doctor. The compactness of the implants is crucial to minimize discomfort during and after implantation. The key challenge in realizing small-sized smart implants is high-volume cost- and time-efficient fabrication of a compact but efficient antenna, which is impedance matched to 50 Ω, as imposed by the requirements of modern electronics. Here, we propose a novel route to realize arrays of 5.5-mm-long normal mode helical antennas operating in the industry-scientific-medical radio bands at 5.8 and 2.4 GHz, relying on a self-assembly process that enables large-scale high-yield fabrication of devices. We demonstrate the transmission and receiving signals between helical antennas and the communication between an antenna and a smartphone. Furthermore, we successfully access the response of an antenna embedded in a tooth, mimicking a dental implant. With a diameter of ~0.2 mm, these antennas are readily implantable using standard medical syringes, highlighting their suitability for in-body implant applications.

    Magnetic suspension array technology: Controlled synthesis and screening in microfluidic networks
    (Hoboken, NJ : Wiley, 2016) Lin, Gungun; Karnaushenko, Dmitriy D.; Cañón Bermúdez, Gilbert Santiago; Schmidt, Oliver G.; Makarov, Denys
    Information tagging and processing are vital in information‐intensive applications, e.g., telecommunication and high‐throughput drug screening. Magnetic suspension array technology may offer intrinsic advantages to screening applications by enabling high distinguishability, the ease of code generation, and the feasibility of fast code readout, though the practical applicability of magnetic suspension array technology remains hampered by the lack of quality administration of encoded microcarriers. Here, a logic‐controlled microfluidic system enabling controlled synthesis of magnetic suspension arrays in multiphase flow networks is realized. The smart and compact system offers a practical solution for the quality administration and screening of encoded magnetic microcarriers and addresses the universal need of process control for synthesis in microfluidic networks, i.e., on‐demand creation of droplet templates for high information capacity. The demonstration of magnetic suspension array technology enabled by magnetic in‐flow cytometry opens the avenue toward point‐of‐care multiplexed bead‐based assays, clinical diagnostics, and drug discovery.
