A human skin moisture measuring device comprising an interdigitated resistive sensor on a transparent support, an image sensing device, such as a video camera, a CCD device or a C-MOS device, and a lighting device.

Free-standing conductive ultra-thin films obtained with a modified Supporting Layer technique, that provides for the easy production of conductive nanofilms having a very large surface area with typical thickness of tens of nanometres. 

Atomic-photonic force microscopy system that can perform simultaneous force spectroscopy measurements, from the sub-pico-Newton to the micro-Newton range.

This invention implements a new method of simultaneous detection and separation of biological entities like specific cells, based on magnetic nanobeads of strictly controlled size.

Low voltage polymeric actuator that, in contrast with present day devices which are typically capable only of bending motion, can deliver linear, bending or simultaneous linear/bending motion.

Simple and cost effective waterproofing method, impregnating bionanocomposites into nonwovens such as paper. The paper obtained with this process is of superior quality and shows no difference whatsoever with common paper. 

Hollow nanostructures (nanocone and nanocylinder) made of noble metals and dielectrics, mounted on a suspended membrane. The structures are mainly oriented orthogonally to the substrate and they can have the tip open or closed.
