A measurement-class microphone such as a 0.5 in ICP microphone is typically a sizable part of the cost of a sound-level meter (SLM). Figure 1: MEMS microphone next to 1 mm graduations.

Microfabrication processes invite a new era of healthcare technology where point-of-care sensors guarantee increased sensitivity at low cost, as well as readout times within minutes. Newcastle University has developed a new approach that uses degenerate vibration modes, therefore given sensor geometries utilize such resonant modes. Maximum ...
ST. FLORIAN, Austria and ESPOO, Finland, Jan. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- EV Group (EVG), a leading supplier of wafer bonding and lithography equipment for the MEMS, nanotechnology and semiconductor markets, today announced that it is partnering with Inkron, a manufacturer of high and low refractive index (RI) coating materials, to provide ...
Iowa State University researchers have developed new nanoscale technology to image and measure more of the stresses and strains on materials under high pressures. "These new technologies allow researchers to image, measure and calculate stresses -- a much more comprehensive and realistic measure of the effects of high pressure on materials ...
Columbia University and Brookhaven National Laboratory scientists have developed a platform for assembling nanosized material components, or “nano-objects,” of very different types — inorganic or organic — into desired 3D structures. Though self-assembly (SA) has successfully been used to organize nanomaterials of several kinds, the ...
