A sheet of dielectric material (e.g. silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, etc.) is sandwiched between a silver mirror, which forms the base of the chip, and a hybrid nanomaterial made from silver (Ag) and gold (Au) nanoparticles. This hybrid nanostructure ...
"Solid state lidar" is actually an umbrella term that covers several non-spinning lidar designs. There's an approach called MEMS—microelectromechanical systems—that involves using a tiny mirror to steer a laser beam. Other solid state lidars use a ...
The ideal method involves microfluidics, a kind of liquid assembly line that drips out perfectly sized microparticles, one at a time. University of Pennsylvania engineers have now developed a microfluidic system where more than ten thousand of these ...
STMicroelectronics has announced high-stability MEMS sensors with 10-year product-longevity assurance – to be available later in 2018. Called IIS3DHHC is a 3-axis accelerometer with ±2.5gravity full-scale range, optimised for high measurement resolution ...
Whether in a heavy elephant or an accelerating cheetah, the performance of bone is equally superior due to its high strength and toughness. Interweaving mineral and protein form continuous networks to provide the strength essential for functional bones.
