Research and Markets: BIOMEMS Technology Poised to Deliver Commercial Opportunities with Innovative Applications.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c10387) has announced the addition of 2004 BIOMEMS -- 6th Annual Applications for Diagnostics, Therapeutics and Research to their offering. Explosive growth in the field of MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s. technology has resulted in significant progress in the development of materials and fabrication technologies. With these advancements in lab research, Mems technology is now poised to deliver commercial opportunities with innovative applications. However, a roadmap for integration of novel technologies into the commercial marketplace has yet to be defined.
