How to Build a Safer, More Energy-Dense Lithium-ion Battery

Fortunately, another set of techniques, ones borrowed from the semiconductor industry, can do much better. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), fabricated in three dimensions with photolithography, provided the model for the research that one of us ...

The ring of all-power: the smallest translator,who knows 24 languages

The ring justifies the prefix “smart” and knows as many as 24 languages. And thanks to the built-in speaker and MEMS microphone with noise suppression function Echo can “listen” to the speech and immediately translate it into one of the selected ones.
