Nature Electronics, Published online: 07 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41928-026-01600-9 A chip-scale image sensor that uses a microelectromechanical system actuator to modulate the sensor’s position can enhance the spatial bandwidth product by up to 33.7-fold compared with operation without actuation.
A strand of a spider’s web is 5 micrometers in width. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices range in size from 20 micrometers to one millimeter. That’s the incredibly small size of the components used in the tensiometer being developed by PhD candidate, Michael Santiago, and his collaborators, professors Abraham Stroock and Alan Lakso at Cornell University. […] The post The Tensiometer: …
