This video explains the world of MEMS – tiny integrated devices combining mechanical and electrical parts, manufactured using advanced chip-making techniques. Learn how these systems, often smaller than a grain of sand, perform complex tasks that impact our world on a macro scale.

Video Highlights:
– MEMS Fundamentals: What they are and why they’re so powerful.
– Microfabrication: A look into how MEMS are built using photolithography, bulk micromachining, surface micromachining and High-Aspect-Ratio Micromachining (HARM).

Key MEMS Devices & How They Work:
– Accelerometers: Sensing crashes in cars and motion in phones.
– Gyroscopes: Detecting rotation for navigation and stability.
– Inkjet Print Heads: Thermal vs. Piezoelectric methods explained.
– Digital Micromirror Devices (DLP): The tech behind sharp digital projection.
– Optical MEMS: Revolutionizing optical communication.
– Bio-MEMS: Enabling "lab-on-a-chip" concepts and advanced medical treatments.
– Future Potential: Where MEMS technology is heading next, pushing the boundaries towards nanotechnology.
