- Typical applications
- Micropower systems and nanomagnetics group within Tyndall National Institute is primarily involved in the design, modelling and development of next generation, meso- to micro- scale (MEMS to NEMS) powering devices for tiny autonomous sensor node enabling a smart and responsive environment around us, essentially for realisation of the Internet of Things – IoT
- Case Study
- An SME or research team who are developing new MEMS/NEMS structures, relevant materials for micro/nano scale energy harvesting devices and need access to modelling, fabrications and characterisation equipment to optimise their devices can get access through EnABLES to the facilities required. A typical project will offer 15 days access to the Tyndall researchers and equipment required.
