Abstract: Millimeter-scale mechanisms, from novel actuators and sensors to insect-inspired flying vehicles, have applications in medical devices, infrastructure inspection, small satellites, and more.
“Building robots that operate independently at sizes below one millimeter is incredibly difficult,” it is exceedingly hard to create robots that function on their own and which are less than one ...
Imperfect current propagation in the heart is responsible for most cardiac diseases. Thanks to a novel magnetocardiography technique, we can now image these currents at millimeter-scale resolutions.
imec paves the way to a new generation of implantable and ingestible health-monitoring sensors. This week, at ISSCC 2020 (Feb. 16–20, San Francisco), imec, a world-leading research and innovation hub ...
