Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) are tiny devices used in technologies such as microphones, accelerometers, and biosensors. MEMS are highly useful, but prone to physical stress that affects their performance, stability, and reliability. Tracking this interference is important, but attaching a separate sensor to such a miniscule structure is no easy task. Researchers at Tohoku University deve
From targeted cancer treatments to self-healing materials and microscopic robots, many emerging technologies depend on molecules that can be controlled with light. Researchers at Tohoku University have now developed a way to make these light-responsive molecules much more sensitive to visible light by using a molecular antenna. The breakthrough gives scientist better control over molecular photosw
