A MEMS-based atomic force microscope developed by engineers at the University of Texas at Dallas is about 1 square centimeter in size (top center). Here it is attached to a small printed circuit board that contains circuitry, sensors and other miniaturized components that control the movement and other aspects of the device.

Engineers Shrink Microscope

It's about 1 square centimeter in size, and attached to a circuit board half the size of a credit card.

Researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas have developed a flexible, mechanically stable and disposable sensor (orange strip on hinge) that can detect proteins in the blood that signal the onset of a heart attack.

Sensor May Catch Heart Attacks

When you're having a heart attack, every second counts.

Researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas have designed a wearable, flexible biosensor that can reliably detect and quantify glucose from very small amounts of human sweat.

Sweat Sensor Monitors Glucose

The textile-based sensor detects glucose in the small amount of ambient sweat on a person's skin.

David Lary's GASP project, based at the University of Texas at Dallas, will deploy white-domed nodes, like the one shown here, on lampposts in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Inside each node is a set of computing hardware and environmental sensors comprising the Waggle smart sensor platform, developed by scientists at Argonne National Laboratory.

Project Maps Air Quality

The pilot project will deploy a network of new, advanced sensors to detect asthma-aggravating particulate matter and pollen in a metropolitan area.
