Imagine a machine so small that it is imperceptible
to the human eye. Imagine working machines no bigger than a grain of
pollen. Imagine thousands of these machines batch fabricated on a
single piece of silicon, for just a few pennies each. Imagine a
world where gravity and inertia are no longer important, but atomic forces
and surface science dominate. Imagine a silicon chip with thousands of
microscopic mirrors working in unison, enabling the all optical network
and removing the bottlenecks from the global telecommunications
infrastructure. You are now entering the
microdomain, a world occupied by an explosive technology known as
MEMS. A world of challenge and opportunity, where traditional
engineering concepts are turned upside down, and the realm of the
"possible" is totally redefined.

MEMS are quietly changing the way you live, in ways
that you might never imagine. The device that senses your car has
been in an accident, and fires the airbag is a MEMS device. Most
new cars have over a dozen MEMS devices, making your car safer, more
energy efficient, and more environmentally friendly. MEMS are finding
their way into a variety of medical devices, and everyday consumer
products. This site is dedicated to
providing educational material on this fascinating new technology. Check
back often, as we will be regularly adding new material.
