Manipulation of MFNPs encapsulated E. coli movement by external magnet:
MFNPs encapsulated E. coli are attracted by an external magnet and they move in the direction of the magnet.
Simulated trajectory of MFNPs encapsulated E. coli under a magnetic field:
Total required time of 100 number of MFNP-E. coli to reach the rGO sensing surface is about 31 sec. Velocity increases with decrease in distance from the magnet.
Demonstration of real-time control of 3D-printed robotic hands:
The changes in resistances of rGO-paper rings were used as single inputs to control the motion of the fingers of the robotic hand.
Touch sensitive paper keyboard:
Signal from the individual key is used to light various LEDs
Superhydrophobic spray coated rGO-paper sensor:
Coated rGO-paper repels water and maintains a constant resistance, whereas, bare rGO-paper absorbs water and thereafter, decreases resistance.
