Organ-on-a-chip devices are being developed for use in researching disease progression and prevention as well as drug therapies. An international research team has added to these biomedical uses of microfluidics with a tooth-on-a-chip designed to advance the understanding of biomaterial effects on live dental pulp cells. The device mimics a ...
The experimental measurements have successfully demonstrated the benefits of placing micro-scale VIV wind energy harvesters in a formation. However, the amount of information that we can gain from the experimental measurements is limited due to several technical challenges. Firstly, noticeable difference in behaviour is observed between ...
Revenue for so-called high-value microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years, as a result of socio-environmental issues, such as global warming and aging populations, according to market research firm iSuppli Corp. High-value MEMS revenue is projected to grow nearly 29.7% in 2010, reaching $1.6 billion ...
SEMI spoke with Michael Holmes, senior manager of microfabrication at Sandia, about its approach to revitalizing the fab while developing new production processes and technologies. SEMI: What were the main challenges in moving into production with 8-inch wafers? Holmes: The goal of the conversion is to reestablish our 6-inch production ...

The article was published in the journal Nanoscale. The vast majority of organo-inorganic hybrid materials used today in solar power are three-dimensional perovskite-like semiconductors that contain lead in their structure. However, the use of such materials creates problems due to their toxicity. Double perovskites, or "elpasolites," can serve ...
