Take for example an airbag, where the (microscale) accelerometer in the airbag’s control unit can trigger the rapid inflation of the (macroscale) airbag when it senses a sudden change in velocity.

Right now, the current state of the art in portable sensors are MEMS devices, and you can get them for the cost of a hamburger. But if you want the ultimate in accuracy, you’ll want a quantum ...

O’Reilly notes that MEMS and sensor testing is not an in-socket test, as in standard semiconductor testing. He was involved in developing a shaker stimulus chip test handler back 24 years ago, as well ...

“Our new IIS2DULPX accelerometer uniquely combines edge ... condition-monitoring solutions leveraging ST’s innovative MEMS sensors,” added Korppi. Further applications for the IIS2DULPX ...

Their research (DOI: 10.1038/s41378-024-00826-x), published in Microsystems & Nanoengineering on March 5, 2025, introduces a MEMS accelerometer featuring an advanced anti-spring mechanism.
