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 ...
New design enables high-power, shorter wavelength laser for microfabrication at high beam quality. New laser enables high-power, short WL laser for microfabrication. Panasonic says it has succeeded in demonstrating what it calls “the world's highest brightness blue laser.” This has been achieved by using the wavelength beam combining ...
Massachusetts-based photonics firm Block MEMS has won a $5.5 million contract to further develop its laser-based technology for stand-off detection of narcotics and other hazardous chemicals. Block is the only contractor selected for “Phase III” of the effort, which is being funded by the US Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity ...
