ENCAPSULATION TECHNOLOGY USING SIC

ENCAPSULATION TECHNOLOGY USING SIC

+EFFICIENT +INTEGRATED Professor El-Gamal successfully demonstrated a thin-film encapsulation technology for above-IC MEMS wafer-level packaging. The uniqueness of this technology lies in its use of SiC as its main structural layer, and the fabrication process is...

OBSERVING AND MODIFYING THE INFINITELY SMALL IN REAL TIME!

+FAST +PRECISE +EFFICIENT Scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) is an essential and widely used tool for imaging surfaces on an atomic scale. Prof. Rochefort’s team is working to improve the processing of information provided by this equipment, in an effort to achieve...
BREATHING VESICLES FOR DRUG-DELIVERY

BREATHING VESICLES FOR DRUG-DELIVERY

+SMALL +PRECISE Polymersomes (the synthetic equivalent of liposomes) are nanometer scale containers with a polymeric membrane which encloses an aqueous interior (for example a drug) before its release. Prof. Eisenberg’s team have put together a new polymersome...
