CASIMIR-EFFECT BASED TUNNEL TRANSISTOR UTILIZING GRAPHENE

Resumen de: WO2026213054A1

A quantum device includes an actuator including a graphene material and having a proximal end mounted to an actuator anchor; an electrode disposed on a distal end of the actuator; a quantum dot, configured to localize a single electron, the quantum dot and the electrode disposed within a common vacuum to define a tunneling gap; and a quantum dot anchor, comprising the graphene material, disposed in a same plane as the quantum dot relative to the electrode. The quantum device may include a modulator configured to emit electromagnetic signaling within a particular frequency range. The graphene material is tuned to increase a Casimir force between the electrode and the quantum dot anchor in response to the electromagnetic signaling. The increased Casimir force causes the actuator to deform to bring the electrode within an electron tunneling range of the quantum dot, or lowers a tunneling barrier on a static electrode.

The external receiver applies a decoding algorithm and machine learning algorithms to convert the EMG signals into discrete control signals representative of a user's volitional movement intent. The control signals may be used to operate an external device, such as a prosthetic limb, orthosis, exoskeleton, computing device, gaming system, or augmented or virtual reality system. The implantable muscle interface device may include a biocompatible substrate supporting an electrode array that at least partially surrounds one or more muscle segments. Feedback signals may be used for the purposes of sensory feedback and neuromodulation. Abstract feedback and neuromodulation.
