To advance microfluidic integration, we present the use of two-photon additive manufacturing to fold 2D channel layouts into compact free-form 3D fluidic circuits with nanometer precision. We demonstrate this technique by tailoring microfluidic nozzles and mixers for time-resolved structural biology at X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs). We ...
This photo-acoustic sensor has been constructed from two silicon wafers: A sensor wafer includes a MEMS mechanical diaphragm microphone and piezoresistive gauges, together with capillaries and fluidic ports, and a second wafer caps the first, and includes the photo-acoustic cell, an expansion volume, SiGe waveguides to get light into the cell ...
First off, we have to admit to being... In ‘Application of Micro-Scale 3D Printing in Pharmaceutics,’ authors Andrew Kjar and Yu Huang of Utah State University examine the advantages of fabricating drugs on the micro-scale. As they point out, creating 3D printed drug delivery systems can be difficult due to challenges in reaching the ...
In civil engineering, buckling is a curse word, as it often leads to mechanical failure. However, it can play an important role in nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS)—devices that combine electronic components like transistors with nanoscale motors, pumps, or mechanical actuators. In NEMS, the buckling of a nanoscale piece could be used to ...

Ocean Insight has launched a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) spectral sensor that provides extended spectral range and performance in a package more accessible than traditional lab-based instrumentation. The NanoQuest MEMS is based on Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) technology that allows for continuous-wave Michelson interferometer to ...
