Bio-Compatible MEMS and Our Bionic Future

Bio-Compatible MEMS and Our Bionic Future > ENGINEERING.com: "Artificial human enhancement has been a staple of science fiction for decades. Recent developments at Tel Aviv American University (TAU) point to a future where MEMS might enable all manner of human enhancement. MEMS, or Micro Electo-Mechanical Systems, are extremely small devices created on the nanoscale. Although MEMS can be found in a number of applications, from refrigerators to bomb detonators, they’ve yet to be manufactured in a way that can interact with fickle human tissue. That is until now."
