A star on a chip: 4K-MEMS and the University of Trento win €2.5M from the EIC to bring infrared sensing into everyday devices
Many molecules have characteristic infrared signatures that can reveal their presence and concentration, from biochemical markers such as lactate to CO₂ in the air. Together with the University of Trento, 4K-MEMS has secured a €2.5 million grant from the European Innovation Council’s Transition programme to bring its miniature infrared emitter a big step closer to market.
