Silicon-based gunpowder may propel MEMS devices
Keywords: nanoscale microelectromechanical systems mems silicon wafer
[Summary of tips] The accidental discovery of a silicon form of "gunpowder" is pointing the way toward integrating nanoscale explosives onto silicon chips, a technology that might provide microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) with a means for rocket propulsion.Chemists at the University of California, San Diego, had a chip blow up in their faces......|
