Abstract: A visibly perceived colorimetric pathogen sensor (100) can comprise a substrate (110) and an molecular recognition group (120) coupled to the substrate (110). The molecular recognition group (120) can be operable to bind to a target pathogen (130). Upon the molecular recognition group (120) binding with the target pathogen (130), reflected light can be altered thereby changing apparent color.

Abstract: A microelectromechanical device is disclosed and described. The microelectromechanical device can include a base having a raised support structure. The microelectromechanical device can also include a biasing electrode supported by the base. The microelectromechanical device can further include a displacement member supported by the raised support structure. The displacement member can have a movable portion extending from the raised support structure and spaced from the biasing electrode by a gap. The movable portion can be movable relative to the base by deflection of the displacement member. The displacement member can also have a piezoelectric material associated with the movable portion. In addition, the microelectromechanical device can include a voltage source electrically coupled to the piezoelectric material and the biasing electrode. The voltage source can apply a biasing voltage to the piezoelectric material and the biasing electrode to cause deflection of the displacement member toward the biasing electrode, thereby reducing the gap between the movable portion and the biasing electrode. Further deflection of the displacement member can cause an increase in voltage across the piezoelectric material and the biasing electrode sufficient to pull the movable portion into contact with the biasing electrode.
