Specialize, Partner or Perish: Embrace Foundry Evolution for BioMEMS
The BioMEMS market is becoming increasingly diverse, encompassing gas and pressure sensors, ultrasound, specialized biomedical sensors, and other types of MEMS and microfluidic chips used for drug delivery and analytical applications.
Graphene Layer Enables Advance in Super-Resolution Microscopy
Researchers at the University of Göttingen have developed a new method that takes advantage of the unusual properties of graphene to electromagnetically interact with fluorescing (light-emitting) molecules. This method allows scientists to optically measure extremely small distances, in the order of 1 ångström (one ten-billionth of a meter) with high accuracy and reproducibility for the first time.
New Insulation Technique Paves The Way For More Powerful and Smaller Chips
Researchers at KU Leuven and imec have successfully developed a new technique to insulate microchips.

Stretchable Wireless Sensor Could Monitor Healing of Cerebral Aneurysms
A wireless sensor small enough to be implanted in the blood vessels of the human brain could help clinicians evaluate the healing of aneurysms — bulges that can cause death or serious injury if they burst. The stretchable sensor, which operates without batteries, would be wrapped around stents or diverters implanted to control blood flow in vessels affected by the aneurysms.
