Paneldebatt: MEMS – sparar energi men skördar för snålt

Fyra paneldiskussioner på samma dag var facit när mikromekanikkonferensen MEMS Congress Europe hölls för andra gången. Av dessa stack energidebatten ut med energiskördning i blickfånget. Här dominerade visionerna och frågorna över svaren och resultaten – kanske just för att det ännu inte finns några företag som tjänar grova pengar inom detta gebit.

Sensoren und Aktoren fur das Auto von morgen

Am 12. Marz 2013 fand in Amsterdam der MEMS Executive Congress Europe statt. Der Kongress beschaftigte sich mit Trends, aktullen Entwicklungen und Herausforderungen im MEMS-Bereich rund um die Themen Automotive, Energie, Medizintechnik und Verbraucher-Applikationen.

Who’s Driving the MEMS Evolution Revolution Now? (Part 3 of 3)

This second part of a three-part series will visit radio frequency (RF) MEMS, an innovative and disruptive application called tunable antennae, and take a closer look at a start up who is pioneering this technology.

Intel, Qualcomm pioneer MEMS performance standard

Here's a great article by Peter Clarke on the Historic announcement regarding MEMS Performance Standards!

¡Viva la MEMS Revolución! Please, take a moment to read a guest blog post from Karen Lightman's friend and colleague, Howard Wisniowski. This is the first of three entries where Howard will spotlight three MEMS startups that are breaking new ground in the mobile/consumer market. In this first part, we will learn about bulk acoustic wave (BAW) solid state MEMS gyroscopes and meet MIG member company Qualtré.

Will MEMS devices ever be the stars of the show?

Karen Lightman, managing director of the MEMS Industry Group, said: "It's wrong to say MEMS hasn't broken through because it's an enabling technology. It might not be the 'bright shiny thing', but MEMS technology is saving lives around the world, playing a central role in air bags, tyre pressure monitoring and blood pressure monitoring. People don't realise where it's being used."
