Flexible Silicon Nano Force Probe Helps Study Sensory Cells in the Ear

Much of what is known about sensory touch and hearing cells is based on indirect observation. Scientists know that these exceptionally tiny cells are sensitive to changes in force and pressure. But to truly understand how they function, scientists must be able to manipulate them directly. Now, Stanford scientists are developing a set of tools that are small enough to stimulate an individual nerve or group of nerves, but also fast and flexible enough to mimic a realistic range of forces.

Imec to Showcase High-Performance, Time-Delay-Integration (TDI) Image Sensor at CMOS Image Sensors Workshop

Imec, the Belgian nanoelectronics research center, will present at this week’s ‘CMOS Image Sensors for High Performance Applications’ workshop in Toulouse (France) a prototype of a high-performance, time-delay-integration (TDI) image sensor. The image sensor is based on imec’s proprietary embedded charge-coupled device (CCD) in CMOS technology. Imec developed and fabricated the sensor for the French Space Agency, CNES, which plans to utilize the technology for space-based earth observation.
