Dear Business Leader,

Sensing Knowledge is a newsletter from the Imego Institute, located in Göteborg, Sweden. The newsletter will primarily contain cases and presentations of research and product development within the field of micro- and nano-technology and will initially be sent out quarterly.

Imego represents a unique source of expertise within sensor system development. Our fundamental goal is to be the link between academia and industry, and thereby to stimulate growth and contribute to commercialization of research findings. As a national research institute it is also our task to spread knowledge on micro- and nano-technology and sensor systems. For further information, please visit www.imego.com.

Research & ideas

MEMS based interface for insect cyborg flight control

A research team at Cornell University, USA, is now able to control the flight of insects. The motion of the wings can be manipulated via electronics that are introduced in the pupal stage of the insect’s metamorphic development.

First look

DynoMag - a portable instrument for dynamic magnetic analyses

Imego’s portable AC susceptometer Dynomag can be used to characterize liquids, powders and solid samples. The instrument creates a “magnetic fingerprint” of the material making it useful for a wide variety of applications, ranging from geologic soil analyses to medical diagnostics.

Upcoming events

COMS 2008

Imego will attend COMS 2008 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, August 31st - September 4th. COMS (Commercialization of Micro and Nano Systems Conference) is the world's most important conference on commercialization of small-size technologies. COMS 2009 is organized by Imego in cooperation with The Technical University of Denmark (DTU Nanotech) and The Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2) at Chalmers University of Technology.

Recent events

Micro System Workshop 2008

Micro System Workshop is a meeting place for all those interested in Microsystems technology in Scandinavia. MSW 2008 was organized by Imego and minST in cooperation with MC2 (Chalmers) in Göteborg, May 6-7. Among the invited speakers were Professor Marc J Madou (UC Irvine, USA) and Professor Mathias Uhlén (The Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden).
