News and analysis from the world of engineering

  • Nanusens’ technique builds sensor structures within chips

    Smart devices, including wearable electronics and Internet of Things (IoT) technology, could be equipped with more sensors and bigger batteries, thanks to a new production technique from Nanusens. Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are a vital component in most electronic devices, as they provide the sensing capabilities that make the technology smart. However, since every […] The post Nanusens’ technique builds sensor structures within chips appeared first on The Engineer.
