Abstract:The miniaturization of mechanical systems, and more specifically micromechanical devices, promise new opportunities in many biomedical applications because of their specific characteristics. These micromechanical devices are much smaller, lighter, faster (e.g., higher resonant frequency), and often more precise or sensitive than their macroscopic counterparts. In particular, micromechanical devices present opportunities in assisting in diagnostic, surgical, and therapeutic applications. Micromechanical devices… Show more
