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 ...
A team of engineers boasts of beating nature by creating the smallest human-made flying structure, a winged microchip that behaves just like the seeds from trees and plants but has better flying ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 winged microchip, the size of a sand grain, is being billed as the smallest ever human made flying structure. According to Nature magazine, the tiny microfliers, designed by engineers at ...
