Engineers at Northwestern University have given microchips a new ability – the power of flight. Inspired by wind-dispersed seeds, these “microfliers” are shaped like tiny propellers to catch the wind, ...
Sept. 22 (UPI) --Engineers at Northwestern University have shrunk a microchip to roughly the size of a grain of sand and given it the power of flight. The new "microflier" -- detailed Wednesday in the ...
Inspired by the fluttering seeds, researchers designed a tiny, winged microchip that is powerful enough to monitor environmental contamination, biohazards, and airborne disease. Here it is shown next ...
Ready or not, flying microchips are here, but unlike motorized drones, these flying computers are light enough to be carried by the winds. The technology, developed by engineers at Northwestern ...
Electronic microchips now have a new capability to fly, thanks to Northwestern University engineers. The new flying microchip (or micro-flier) is about the size of a grain of sand. It lacks a motor or ...
A microchip the size of a grain of sand is the smallest human-made flying structure ever created, according to its developers, who say it could track airborne disease. Scientists say the 'microfliers' ...
