Si Time Corp. will supply microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) timing solutions for Garmin International’s automotive, aviation, marine, fitness and outdoor products. With the deployment of 5G, internet of things (IoT) and automotive electronics in outdoor environments, timing solutions enable environmental robustness and solve difficult ...
A company spun off from the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems is looking commercialize a micro loudspeaker made from 100 percent silicon. After successful seed funding, Arioso Systems GmbH is now ready to take the technology to market. The MEMS (micro-electromechanical system)-based micro speaker technology has been in development ...
It turned out that Bullen, a machining company with 139 employees located about 25 miles southwest of Dayton, was doing vital work. Some of the microelectromechanical parts made by Bullen are used in parts for lifesaving ventilators.
Deep inside computer chips, tiny wires made of gold and other conductive metals carry the electricity used to process data. But as these interconnected circuits shrink to nanoscale, engineers worry that pressure, such as that caused by thermal expansion when current flows through these wires, might cause gold to behave more like a liquid than a ...
Now researchers in the US found that the wings of at least ten species have nanoscale structures that increase light absorption and scattering that create the “ultra-black” appearance. These structures may have evolved to enhance the contrast of colour patches used in courtship displays, according to the researchers. Understanding why the ...
