BioMEMS or lab-on-a-chip devices typically imply miniaturized devices that
perform analytical tasks on small scales with small volumes of analytes.
Such devices can include DNA binding analysis, chemical separations, cellular
analysis, and a host of other techniques.

MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) and NEMS (nanoelectromechanical systems) are
typically micro/nanoscale mechanical systems designed to perform a sensing
or actuating task. Research at Cornell has focused on high-Q resonators for ultrasensitive
detection of adsorbed chemicals.
