- In this work a novel monocrystalline silicon nanowires array has been investigated and presented as hydrogen sensor, designed and fabricated by employing high resolution microfabrication techniques and featuring a high surface/volume ratio. The nanowires arrays makes up the channel of a MOS system, palladium-silicon dioxide-silicon. Several devices have been fabricated by using a SOI (Silicon On Insulator) substrate, Source and Drain have been geometrically patterned by optical lithography and Boron p-doped. Electron Beam Litography (EBL) defined the MOS channel made up of a nanowires array of different length and width in different transistors. The pads of Source and Drain have been manufactured with an aluminium film deposition. The Gate has been fabricated with a grown silicon oxide layer (17.4 nm) and Palladium has been used as gate contact. Polarizing and exposing the device to H(2)/N(2) cycles at different concentrations some preliminary measurements have been successfully conducted.

- Optical properties and aroma have been indicated as sources of information for the analysis of quality of fruits. Optical properties can be measured with several experimental arrangements and equipments that are often complex with result difficult to interpret. In recent years, a number of suggestions arose in the sensor community proposing the use of conventional computer peripheral devices as analytical instruments. Among them the combination of a computer screen and a webcam was demonstrated to be suitable to measure optical properties of materials. In this paper this arrangement is utilized to characterize the reflectance of apricot fruits that underwent different post-harvest treatment and mechanical damages. Optical measurements were complemented by aroma analysis with an electronic nose. The response of fruits to treatments was also monitored measuring CO2 (indicator of respiration) and ethylene (indicator of ripening), both these parameters are known to be influenced by post-harvest treatment and mechanical damages. Results show that a computer screen-webcam combination and an electronic nose are both sensitive to mechanical damages of fruits devising their use, after due optimization, for routine fruit sorting. © 2005.

- Computer Screen Photoassisted Technique (CSPT) is a recent interesting approach for the development of optical sensor platforms using ubiquitous devices. We demonstrate here that the information obtained by CSPT measurements can be useful for other than sensing purposes and a computer set and a web camera can also be exploited as spectroscopic technique for the characterization of the compounds used as indicators. CSPT measurement data have been used to characterize novel features of the a,c-biladiene chemistry, which have been later confirmed by photophysical characterization carried out using classical instrumentation. The demonstrated analytical capabilities of a regular computer-web camera set reach a degree of complexity approaching that of fluorescence excitation-emission spectroscopy, something remarkable considering the exploitation of familiar and already well distributed devices. © The Royal Society of Chemistry and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.
