Photonic MEMS: Vibration at the nano-scale (a)

Here we see how an electrical field applied by light can compress material to excite mechanical vibration.
We replace metal electrodes with the electrical field that light applies to create a train of virtual electrodes that are almost exactly 250 nm apart. These virtual electrodes act collectivity to excite a mechanical mode, illustrated above, that is [...]

The first MEMS micro motor experiment in Thailand (Pittaya Deekla SUT-SLRI on 07-Nov-2009)

This video shows the first micro motor experiment in Thailand performed on Saturday 7 th November 2009. This electrostatically driven micro motor had a rotor with a diameter of 0.88 millimeters. It consisted of 8 poles driven by 12 stator poles. It was fabricated by synchrotron x-ray lithography technique at micromachining lab, the Synchrotron [...]

The smallest image of Barack Obama ever made

The video explains how the smallest image (to date…) of Barack Obama was made.
It is about 8µm in width which is about 1/10 of the diameter of a human hair. It was milled on a silicon piece.
It was made in Ottawa, Canada with an NVision, the dual column microscope from Carl Zeiss. The pattern [...]

    Nanotechnology’s Big Impact

    In the first ChemMatters video, we find about why the very smallest machines, known as nanotechnology, hold very big promise. Nanotechnology may help create tiny devices that bring medicine exactly where it needs to go in your body, powerful computers the size of a grain of sand or vital new sources of energy.
    ChemMatters, the [...]

    MS 10-100™: Maskless Lithography Tool

    MS 10-100™: Litho
    The “all in one” MS 10-100™V2 performs the work of six different machines essential for the production of microstructured surfaces, without the need of a dust-free environment. Entirely automated and programmable the MS 10-100™ is modular, accomodating almost all commonly-used materials and adaptable to your substrate size, shape & thickness.
    Thanks to its Maskless [...]
