Although the output is less than a volt, it could be deployed in arrays of miniscule sensors and processors known as MEMS (microelectromechanical systems), currently used as autonomous controls in cars, airplanes, imaging systems, and numerous other ...

The paper-based microfluidic fuel cells created by Juan Pablo Esquivel, at the University of Barcelona in Spain, and colleagues, were inspired by the convenience and simplicity of lateral flow test strips – pregnancy tests are probably the most well ...
Advances in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) now allow nearly seamless integration of an array of sensors to collect information. Microcontrollers have shrunk to the point that they can be hidden away neatly and consume very little power. Wireless ...
The next steps for the team are to use microfabrication techniques to further miniaturize the device so that it fits on a chip and to improve its sensitivity. "We also plan to extend the frequency range of the devices from a megahertz domain to the ...
Xinchun Lu and colleagues explain that adhesion is a big concern when designing very small silicon-based machines called microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Today, MEMS are in many consumer products, such as cell phones, tablets, car airbags ...
