Laser process to optimise MEMS sensor size and performance
Researchers are using laser-based crystallisation to eliminate the need for wires and solder joints in the monolithic integration of MEMS sensors

The collaboration will leverage EVG's nanoimprint lithography technology, expertise and services with Teramount's PhotonicPlug technology
The process could be used as a faster and more affordable alternative to vacuum- and mask-based piezo-MEMS manufacturing methods
Researchers at TU Wien have developed a silicon-based sensor as a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) that is capable of measuring the strength of electric fields while being much smaller, simpler and less prone to distortion than comparable devices
Despite just three per cent growth in the volume of cars sold expected through to 2022, the average growth rate in sensors sales volumes will rise above 8 per cent during the next five years, and above 14 per cent growth in sales value
Jessica Rowbury explores how MEMS projectors are advancing virtual and augmented reality headsets
As microscopes become ever more powerful, a growing band of businesses are racing to make the latest technologies more accessible and more affordable, reports Rebecca Pool
Illustration of a three-dimensional crystal with various types of confining centres. (a) Crystal with four confining centres, each trapping waves (yellow) in all three dimensions simultaneously. (b) Crystal with a linear confining centre where waves can propagate in one dimension, analogous to an optical fibre. (c) Crystal with a planar confining centre where waves can propagate in two dimensions, analogous to a 2D electron gas. (Image: Vos et al.)
Newly discovered fundamental rules have been embedded into software to dramatically optimise the design of photonic integrated circuits
