MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems)

Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are tiny devices that combine mechanical parts and electronic components on a single chip, often measuring just a few millimeters. They can sense, control, and interact with the environment through motion and electrical signals. Common applications include accelerometers in smartphones for screen orientation, pressure sensors in cars for airbag deployment, and microscopes for medical diagnostics. MEMS technology allows for highly intricate and precise solutions in various fields, enabling innovations in consumer electronics, automotive, and healthcare industries by delivering functionality in compact forms.
