Sandia gas sampling device rapidly determines whether MEMS seals are effective Just as astronomers want to understand the atmospheres of planets and moons, so engineers want atmospheric knowledge of worlds they create that ...
A sensing device tailored for mass production of highly sensitive and stable nerve-gas detectors has been developed by a research group led by a mechanical engineer at The University of Texas at Austin. The new sensor technology, ...
CardioMEMS, a member of Georgia Tech’s Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC), is pioneering a new breed of testing devices to monitor heart patients. Combining wireless communications technology with microelectromechanical ...
A low-power, magnetic sensor about the size of a grain of rice that can detect magnetic field changes as small as 50 picoteslas - a million times weaker than the Earth's magnetic field - has been demonstrated by researchers ...
Device allows naked eye to see motion of 10 nanometers A new class of very small handheld devices can detect motion a thousand times more subtly than any tool known. "There was nothing in the [optics] literature to predict ...
Nanomechanical memory cell could catapult efforts to improve data storage There are no gears or levers involved, nor even, for those who remember such things, punch cards transported in oblong boxes. Yet research by a Boston ...
Constant innovation in the field of microfluidics and µTAS has enabled lab-on-a-chip (LOC) technologies to successfully enter the mainstream commercial market. LOCs are ready to make their mark in diverse areas such as high-throughput ...
MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) are growing up fast when it comes to their integration into all kinds of Consumer Electronics (CE), reports In-Stat/MDR (http://www.instat.com). And while most applications, at this point, ...
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), along with their colleagues at several companies, are completing experiments that validate new standards aimed at improving emerging new microelectromechanical ...
SAN JOSE, Calif., July 6, 2004 – Cypress Semiconductor Corp. today formally opened the Silicon Valley Technology Center (SVTC), a facility that offers start-up and established corporations the opportunity to develop and characterize ...
