A tiny, thin-film electrode with a 3-D-printed housing has been implanted in the peripheral nervous system of songbirds, where it successfully recorded electrical impulses that drive vocalizations.
But the potential of micromachine technology goes well beyond that. Accelerometers, which improve the operation of pacemakers, are being integrated into the medical mainstream. On the horizon are devices that will play primary roles in health-care delivery ...
A curated collection of industry and product deep-dives. I’ve known Alexander Oster a long time now. He joined FIT at 16 to work on making a printer and later writing code for the leading ...
Researchers at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) have developed the first optically controlled microelectronic device that doesn’t use a semiconductor. The research allows for the design of microelectronic devices that work faster and can ...
It sets new standards for all-in-one femtosecond lasers in medical device manufacturing and ultra-high precision micromachining applications. Femtosecond lasers provide a cold ablation micromachining process due to their high peak-power. The high peak ...
