The next big innovations in electronics are going to be tiny, and we’re pushing the limits of miniaturizing the complex network of electronics that will power the next generation of digital devices, from smartphones to sensors to biomedical implants.
We’re building keener sensors capable of picking up data from ever-smaller sample sizes, leading to more efficient, less invasive testing. And we’re exploring new materials to make electronic systems more resilient and capable of performing in the most demanding environments--from inside the human body to the furthest reaches of outer space.
