Abstract: A temperature sensor is described, which includes a sensor gel having a polymer, water and ions, and a first and a second electrode separated from each other by the sensor gel. The present disclosure further relates to a system which has a temperature sensor, a voltage source or electric current source, and a measurement device for detecting voltage or electric current. The present disclosure further relates to a bolometer and a temperature sensor array. A method for temperature detection is also described, wherein a temperature sensor is provided, a voltage or an electric current between the first electrode and the second electrode of the temperature sensor is provided, an electric current or a voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode is measured, and a temperature is determined from the measured electric current or voltage.

Abstract: Microstructures immersed in a liquid have multiple chambers and funnels oriented inwardly. The funnels generate differential motility for bacteria. Bacteria is therefore concentrated within the chamber, and effectively sequestered from the environment outside the microstructures. Multiple consecutive chambers and conical funnels allow more effective sequestration of bacteria. These microtraps offer biocontrol options alternative to pharmaceutical solution such as antibiotics.
