The Leonhard Euler Tercentenary

Submitted by Vlado A. Lubarda on

Just a reminder that this Sunday, April 15 will be exactly 300 years since Leonhard Euler was born.

I am sure many mechanicians will toast this weekend on this extraordinnary anniversary to the person who laid down much of the foundations in mathematics and mechanics.

Symposium on Microelectromechanical Systems: Materials and Devices, MRS Fall 2007

Submitted by Srikar Vengallatore on

From the Call for Papers: 

Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) represent the integration of miniaturized mechanical, chemical, fluidic, and optical devices with microelectronics. MEMS have a broad range of applications in optical- and radio-frequency communications, physical/chemical/biosensing, display technology, drug delivery, and the manipulation and isolation of cells.
