HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -In the most general form, MEMS consist of mechanical microstructures, microsensors, microactuators and microelectronics, all integrated onto the same silicon chip.

Detailed explanation-2: -MEMS stands for micro-electro-mechanical system.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two basic types of MEMS switch technology: capacitive and ohmic. A capacitive MEMS switch is developed using a moving plate or sensing element, which changes the capacitance.

Detailed explanation-4: -MEMS sensor components are approximately 1 to 100 microns in size, with the sensor being generally less than a millimeter in size.

Detailed explanation-5: -While the functional elements of MEMS are miniaturized structures, sensors, actuators, and microelectronics, the most notable (and perhaps most interesting) elements are the microsensors and microactuators.
