| This colorized micrograph shows a microrotor similar to those in a minature motor operated by an integrated circuit. NIST is working to develop reliable ways for the semiconductor industry to measure stress, strain, and other mechanical properties to optimize the operation of such MicroElectroMechanical Systems or MEMS. |
