Editorial Review

Describing the basic concepts behind magnetic microsystems, or Mag-MEMS, this collection of articles discusses scale reduction laws for magnetizing components and calculating electric current in very small electronic devices. An overview of state-of-the-art materials and fabrication methods in this new field covers magnets and coils and briefly summarizes new ferromagnetic and exotic materials. Several articles introduce specific Mag-MEM prototypes and their potential applications in motors, suspension systems, generators, biomedical devices, and optics; final comments identify the necessary next steps in design and optimization of Mag-MEMS in dedicated power electronics.
