Session Synopsis
The continuous evolution of microsystems has led to a significant impact in the fields of sensors and actuators. The possibility to integrate non-standard materials, e.g. piezoelectric or magnetic materials, with silicon represents a cornerstone for next-generation miniaturized chemical, physical, biological or optical sensors and microactuators. This progress is leading to new challenges and opportunities for modern applications in several research fields, such as physics, electronics, chemistry, biology, biomedical sciences, and microfluidics. In this context, we invite researchers and scientists to submit contributions on scientific and technical aspects of emerging designs and innovative employments of microsystems for sensors and actuators.
