Frore's AirJet introduced the concept of silicon "chips" that could cool others via MEMS technology. Now xMEMS, which has used MEMS as earbud speakers, is entering the chip-cooling market, too.

As AI reignites Big Tech's push for smart glasses, here's a tech that could play a central role. xMEMS, which debuted a solid-state "fan on a chip" last year, has a new one for wearables. This could ...

In MEMS design, prototyping is the third vital step after design and feasibility, and it tends to occur at a research facility. Custom chip designs are validated by prototypes built in-house before ...

The group also succeeded for the first time in the world in developing a single crystal diamond microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensor chip that can be actuated and sensed by electrical signals.

What are the most innovative electronics gadgets on the market today? Few would dispute nominees like Apple's iPhone or Nintendo's motion-sensing videogame console, the Wii. Click here for "Nano ...

MEMS is an acronym that stands for microelectromechanical systems – exceptionally small devices that incorporate mechanical, electrical, and frequently optical components on a single microchip. These ...

Portland, Ore. — Even the whizziest, most cutting-edge digital systems still use microphones that are based on 50-year-old analog electret technologies. The best candidate for a successor is ...
