running diagonally across this image are designed to measure acceleration and are some 500 micrometers in length and only around 3 micrometers thick. The insect’s antennae are also around 500 micrometers long. This image was tinted later using a computer. >>


<< Figure 2: Using these tiny high-tech helpers, Bosch is teaching cars and modern electronic devices how to feel: these micro chips can be found in smartphones, laptops, games consoles and other — especially portable — consumer electronics devices. They work as highly sensitive measuring instruments, determining acceleration, pressure, rotary motion or the earth’s magnetic field. The latest generation of these sensors unites a host of functions within a casing only a few square millimeters in size. >>
