Breakthrough Revolutionizes Ultrasound using Mechanical Engineering, Microfabrication and Novel Printing Process
Photo by Clare Kiernan At first glance, Carlos D. Gerardo, Edmond Cretu and Robert Rohling’s new polymer capacitive micro-machined ultrasound transducer (polyCMUT) looks like a computer chip, but it’s actually a series of microscopic drums built with a novel printing process. This innovation uses mechatronics and micromachining to convert sound into electrical signals at a […]
