Sensors are integral to modern living and are found in a huge number of applications in science, engineering and technology thus it is critical for scientists and technologists to understand the physical principles behind sensor types as well as their characteristics, applications, and how they can be suitably employed in sensor technologies. Whilst there exists a vast literature on the physics and characteristics of traditional sensors, this book provides a broad overview of the range of ...

Fabrication of Graphene from Camphor: Emerging Energy Applications provides a short review of recent discoveries in the field of graphene. Its specific focus is on the synthesis of graphene sheets by naturally available sources of carbon as solid precursors.It delves into three major issues in the field:• The low-cost fabrication process for the development of large-scale graphene using natural camphor as a solid source of carbon.• The fabrication of graphene-silico...

They told you to hustle. They forgot to tell you how to survive.DeepTech isn’t a sprint. It’s years in the lab before a single sale. It’s moonshot ambition colliding with marathon endurance. It’s investors who want speed and a mission that can’t be rushed.Moonshots and Marathons is the unfiltered playbook for founders building the impossible—satellites, AI breakthroughs, climate solutions, life-saving biotech.Three insiders who’ve invested in, scaled...
