To make a solid crystal, molecules are generally so tightly packed together there's no room for any movement. It means that solid crystals -- despite their strength and durability -- have generally ...

Traditionally, gyroscopes were mechanical devicesthat measured the angular rate of rotation. Onecommon use of gyroscopes has been in navigationsystems to provide heading estimation.Installing these ...

In MEMS technology development, it is always exciting to see the next technology frontier, the border of the known and the unknown. Talent and hard work (along with ingenuity) can move this frontier ...
