Microtechnology
Microtechnology refers to the design and manufacture of extremely small devices and systems, often at the scale of micrometers (one-millionth of a meter). This field encompasses various technologies, including microelectronics, microfabrication, and MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems). These tiny components are used in a wide range of applications, from smartphones to medical devices, enabling advanced functionalities in compact formats.
The development of microtechnology has revolutionized industries by allowing for the miniaturization of components, which leads to lighter, more efficient products. Innovations in nanotechnology also play a role in enhancing the capabilities of microtechnology, paving the way for breakthroughs in fields such as biotechnology and robotics.
