. Micro and Nano Systems (mns)

In recent years, a very large amount of scientific work has been achieved around Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS). Some industrial success stories (accelerometers, gyroscopes and MOEMS) have shown their maturity. MEMS are now starting to take place around us in our everyday life as the microelectronic did 20 years ago. However, a lot of effort is still needed for the integration of ICs a...

Emerging Biomedical Technologies at the Micro and Nano Levels

ADVANCES IN LIFE SCIENCE RESEARCH Throughout the history of medicine, many advances have been driven by important technological innovations. For example, the invention of the X-ray machine, more than a century ago, revolutionized medicine and pioneered the use of noninvasive imaging in the diagnosis and detection of diseases. The invention of the microscope essentially redefined the fields of p...

Micro-systems in biomedical applications

In this paper we analyse the main characteristics of some micro-devices which have been developed recently for biomedical applications. Among the many biomedical micro-systems proposed in the literature or already on the market, we have selected a few which, in our opinion, represent particularly well the technical problems to be solved, the research topics to be addressed and the opportunities...
