Using MEMS Nanotechnology in supply chain laser scanning at Supplychainer

This year, in June CNN named MEMS (Micro electro-Mechanical Systems), type of nanotechnology, one of its Top 25 Innovations of the last quarter century. A CNN-commissioned panel of technology leaders placed MEMS at no. 11, ahead of ATMs, display panels, HDTV, the Space Shuttle and flash memory in terms of relevance, impact, or future potential to impact everyday Americans during the course of daily life. MEMS has already changed the [...] Read More

Reports highlight growing MEMS market at Nanotechbuzz

Two new reports are out highlighting the growing market for nanotech's big brother, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). MEMS is the integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and electronics on a common silicon substrate through microfabrication technology. Micro is the next level up in scale from nano; one hundred nanometers equals one micron, and one micron equals one millionth of a meter. "Focus on Technical and Scientific Challenges to Successful MEMS Commercialization" by [...] Read More


Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS): merging cells and machines at Nanotechbuzz

Nanotechnology is making possible a convergence between the living world of cells and the electrical and mechanical world of machines. In the strange world of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) the boundaries separating living and nonliving systems blurs and new possibilities arise. Two recent advances highlight the possibilities for design at the interface between cells and machines. Abu Samah Zuruzi and his colleagues at Intel Assembly Technology Development and the University of [...] Read More
