A new optical touchless positioning interface based on ultrasensitive humidity responsive 1D photonic crystals utilizing the giant moisture dependent swelling capacity of 2D phosphatoantimonate nanosheets is presented. The spatially confined, full spectral color change combined with reversible transparency switching induced by the humidity sheath of a human finger allows for real time, true color lateral finger motion tracking under touchless conditions.
A 2D nanosheet-based photonic nose for vapor identification is presented. A HSbP2 O8 nanosheet thin-film sensor with resistive readout is developed for the tracking of trace amounts of water, and a photonic HSbP2 O8 /TiO2 multilayer structure is effective at optically distinguishing between chemically similar solvent vapors through analyte-specific host-guest interactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
