Low-Cost Fuel Cells on the Way?
|
|
Levi Thompson (MSE '82, MSE '86, PhD '86), professor, Chemical Engineering, is leading a research team that, using microfabrication, could significantly lower the cost of fuel cells. (First Micro-Machined Mechanical Cochlea
 Karl Grosh, associate professor, Mechanical Engineering, and doctoral student Robert White have developed the first micro-machined, life-sized, mechanical cochlea -- the organ that converts acoustic vibrations into electrical signals. The device could some day help address the problem of hearing loss. (More...)

| Schematic of cochlear analog device. (a) Cross-sectional cut along design centerline. (b) Top view of the design. A key feature is the exponentially tapered membrane width, which provides the varying acoustic impedance needed for cochlear-like frequency-position mapping. The width of the tapered membrane has been intentionally scaled up with respect to the rest of the drawing to improve visibility. |
