For several decades, researchers have been trying to combine microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) with living material. Bio-MEMS have many applications, ranging from improved drug delivery and optical and electrochemical sensors to organs-on-chips.
Microfluidics and learning-on-a-chip research—involving the manipulation of small amounts of fluids to run miniaturized experiments in physics, chemistry, biology and medicine—are a prolific ...
To demonstrate confocal imaging, the scientists used a bench-top mockup of the objective lens with an integrated 3-D MEMS mirror. Liu et al. attached the mirror onto the sample stage using a thin ...
Proof that a new ability to grow thin films of an important class of materials called complex oxides will, for the first time, make these materials commercially feasible, according to Penn State ...
Extremely sensitive cilia structures in nature perform MEMS flow sensing activities – this is why crickets can detect extremely low airflow velocities and spider legs are very sensitive to low ...
