HP today announced new inertial sensing technology that enables the development of digital micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers that are up to 1,000 times more sensitive than high-volume products currently available. http://www.physorg.com/news176662423.html Technology Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:20:01 EST news176662423 Mr Pradyumna Thiruvenkatanathan, a second year doctoral student in Engineering, is the recipient of the best student paper award in the sensors and transducers sub-field at the IEEE Frequency Control conference. The IEEE Frequency Control conference is a premier event highlighting research in the areas of frequency and timing, frequency control and related technologies including Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS). http://www.physorg.com/news171128812.html Technology Wed, 02 Sep 2009 17:10:03 EST news171128812 (PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers are developing a new class of tiny mechanical devices containing vibrating, hair-thin structures that could be used to filter electronic signals in cell phones and for other more exotic applications. http://www.physorg.com/news169134677.html Nanotechnology Mon, 10 Aug 2009 15:40:17 EST news169134677 (PhysOrg.com) -- Folding paper into shapes such as a crane or a butterfly is challenging enough for most people. Now imagine trying to fold something that's about a hundred times thinner than a human hair and then putting it to use as an electronic device. http://www.physorg.com/news154796282.html Nanotechnology Wed, 25 Feb 2009 14:58:37 EST news154796282 (PhysOrg.com) -- A joint team of researchers at CIC nanoGUNE (San Sebastian, Spain) and the Max Planck Institutes of Biochemistry and Plasma Physics (Munich, Germany) report the non-invasive and nanoscale resolved infrared mapping of strain fields in semiconductors. The method, which is based on near-field microscopy, opens new avenues for analyzing mechanical properties of high-performance materials or for contact-free mapping of local conductivity in strain-engineered electronic devices (Nature Nanotechnology, advanced online publication, 11 Jan. 2009). http://www.physorg.com/news150998994.html Nanotechnology Mon, 12 Jan 2009 16:09:54 EST news150998994
