Dear Colleagues,
Check out the exciting latest developments in the MEMS Department at Duke! From amazing dancing robots and careers being launched from our makerspaces to faculty awards and the innovative "smart homes" senior design project, it's been quite a busy semester. You'll get a glimpse of new sound-based technology for sorting biological nanoparticles, and we've also compiled a few captivating highlights, complete with video clips, for your viewing pleasure. Have an amazing summer and congratulations to all Duke MEMS graduates launching their careers this May!
