Microscale Technology
Microscale technology refers to the design and fabrication of devices and systems at a very small scale, typically ranging from 1 to 100 micrometers. This technology is used in various fields, including electronics, medicine, and materials science, enabling the creation of tiny components like sensors, microchips, and drug delivery systems.
One of the key advantages of microscale technology is its ability to enhance performance while reducing material usage and energy consumption. For example, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) combine mechanical and electrical components on a microscopic level, leading to innovations in automotive safety and consumer electronics.
