Microsystems for the New Millennium
The Future
The future represents the true integration of microsystems that can “SENSE, THINK, ACT, and COMMUNICATE”.
- Sandia is actively engaged in this journey with the unique facilities and equipment encompassed in the Microsystems and Engineering Sciences Applications (MESA) Complex.
- The MESA concept builds on Sandia’s focus on working with industry and universities to push the frontiers of microsystems while continuing to expand the facilities, infrastructure, and supporting network of capabilities needed to provide microsystems-based solutions. The elements necessary include materials research, nanotechnology, computationally enabled engineering, design, modeling, and simulation, fabrication, packaging, reliability and systems integration.
- With efforts such as these, a future of truly integrated systems built at the microscopic scale is within reach and represents far-reaching opportunities limited only by your imagination.
