Work on electrowetting-on-dielectric MEMS stage published in APL
A MEMS vertical translation, or focusing, stage that uses electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) as the actuating mechanism was developed. EWOD has the potential to eliminate solid-solid contact by...
STPV named one of the Biggest Clean Energy Advances in 2016
Congratulations to David Bierman and Andrej Lenert! MIT Technology Review has named STPV one of the "Biggest Clean Energy Advances in 2016". Earlier in 2016, a demonstration of enhanced STPV device...
