Microfabrication has greatly matured and proliferated in use amongst many disciplines.
There has been great interest in micromachined flow sensors due to the benefits of …

Existing electronically integrated catheters rely on the manual assembly of separate
components to integrate sensing and actuation capabilities. This strongly impedes their …

We have developed a piezoelectric (PZT) microcantilever as an air flow sensor and a wind-
driven energy harvester for a self-sustained flow-sensing microsystem. A flow sensing …

Extrusion-based printing relying on pneumatic dispensing systems is the most widely
employed tool in bioprinting. However, standardized and reliable methods for process …

One of the grand challenges in interventional cardiology and neuroradiology is to minimize
the operation time and risk of damage during catheterization. These two factors drastically …

Minimizing conductive heat losses in Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) thermal
(hot-film) flow sensors is the key to minimize the sensors' power consumption and maximize …

Based on the results of computational fluid dynamics simulations, this study designed and
fabricated a flexible thermal-type micro flow sensor comprising one microheater and two …

Wind flow regarded as a renewable energy source is present everywhere in indoor or open
environments. A self‐sustained flow‐sensing microsystem is especially desirable in future …

External ventricular drainage is one of the most common neurosurgical procedures in the
world for acute hydrocephalus, which must be performed carefully by a neurosurgeon …

Silicon nanowire (SiNW)-based cantilever flow sensors with three different cantilever sizes
(10× 50, 20× 90 and 40× 100 µm 2) and various SiNW lengths (2, 5 and 10 µm) have been …
