Today, networks of smart devices have already transformed our world, and we’re just starting to connect our bodies to them in meaningful ways. We see signs that we might be able to create new bio-based networks inside our own bodies and manipulate the ...
(Nanowerk News) A general rule in optics is that light is insensitive to features which are much smaller than the optical wavelength. In fact, the whole concept of “index of refraction” arises from the fact that light experiences a medium as a whole ...
Ceramic materials are likely to shatter when they are deformed, however latest research demonstrates a technique of using ultra-thin ceramic nanofibers in order to make heat-resistant, squishy sponges with a wide range of potential applications. Nanofiber ...
In particular, novel strategies have been developed to enable the intimate biointegration of wearable electronic devices with human skin in ways that bypass the mechanical and thermal restrictions of traditional microfabrication technologies. Here ...
Thus, it should be carefully considered in the design process. Also keep in mind that a new MEMS market is emerging: nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). Due to their sensitivity, these nanometric devices are able to get very small sensors to detect ...
