Micro Modular Reactor
The Micro Modular Reactor (MMR) is a helium-cooled microreactor designed by Ultra Safe Nuclear, fueled for about 20 years without refueling and now developed as KRONOS MMR.
Micro Motion
Micro Motion is a Boulder, Colorado-based manufacturer of Coriolis flow and density meters, founded by Jim Smith in 1977 and a wholly owned subsidiary of Emerson Electric since 1984.
Micro particle image velocimetry
Micro particle image velocimetry (μPIV) is an optical technique measuring whole-field fluid velocity in microfluidic channels by imaging fluorescent tracer particles, resolving flows finer than one micron.
Micro Saint Sharp
Micro Saint Sharp is a discrete-event network simulation software package, introduced in 2003 by Micro Analysis & Design of Boulder, Colorado, as a successor to Micro Saint.
Micro syndrome
Micro syndrome, formally Warburg micro syndrome (WARBM), is a rare autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder marked by congenital cataracts, microcephaly, severe intellectual disability, and progressive spasticity, caused by RAB18 pathway deficiency.
Micro transfer printing
Micro transfer printing (µTP) is a microfabrication technique that uses an elastomer stamp to pick up thin-film devices and print them onto a target substrate.
Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency Bank
The Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency Bank, or MUDRA Bank, is an Indian development finance institution launched in April 2015 to refinance collateral-free micro-enterprise loans.
Micro-
Micro- is the SI prefix denoting one millionth (10−6) of a unit, written μ, adopted into the SI in 1960 and used in units like the micrometre and microgram.
Micro-arc oxidation
Micro-arc oxidation (MAO), also known as plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), is an electrochemical surface treatment that grows hard ceramic oxide coatings on light metals such as aluminum, titanium, and magnesium.
Micro-batching
Micro-batching processes streaming data in small, frequent batches (roughly 100 ms to a few seconds), Spark Structured Streaming's default mode, offering exactly-once fault tolerance and batch-engine simplicity at the cost of batch-boundary latency.
Micro-bioreactors
Micro-bioreactors are miniaturized cultivation vessels that run many parallel cell cultures with online monitoring and control, used in cell line development, strain screening, and early biopharmaceutical process development.
Micro-computed tomography
Micro-computed tomography, also known as micro-CT or microtomography, is a non-destructive X-ray technique reconstructing 3D images of a specimen's internal structure at voxel sizes down to about 1 µm.
Micro-CT analysis
Micro-CT analysis is the quantitative interpretation of 3D images from X-ray microtomography, which reconstructs internal structure non-destructively at micrometer resolution, with voxel sizes of 1–50 µm.
Micro-CT imaging
Micro-CT imaging, or microcomputed tomography, is an X-ray computed tomography technique producing quantitative 3D images of small specimens such as bone, soft tissue, and biomaterials, used mainly in preclinical research.
Micro-fulfillment
Micro-fulfillment is a retail logistics strategy in which small, automated facilities near customers pick and pack online orders within minutes, used most widely in online grocery.
Micro-Nova (lunar hopper)
Micro-Nova, also written µNova, is a rocket-propelled lunar hopper built by Intuitive Machines to reach permanently shadowed craters and steep slopes a wheeled rover cannot.
Micro-oligochaetes as fish food and test organisms
Micro-oligochaetes are small annelid worms, including Grindal worms, white worms, and Tubifex, cultured as live fish food and as standard test organisms in soil ecotoxicology.
Micro-operation
A micro-operation (micro-op, µop) is an elementary operation a processor performs in one step, from register transfer in microprogrammed control to the small operations x86 decoders split instructions into.
micro-ROS
micro-ROS is an open-source software stack that runs ROS 2 nodes on resource-constrained microcontrollers, extending ROS 2 down to chips with tens of kilobytes of RAM.
Micro-Star International
Micro-Star International, commonly known as MSI, is a Taiwanese technology company headquartered in New Taipei City, founded in 1986 and best known for motherboards, graphics cards, and gaming laptops.
Micro-ultrasound imaging
Micro-ultrasound imaging is a high-frequency ultrasound technique that images living tissue at resolutions near histology's scale, resolving structures as small as 70 µm and used chiefly to detect prostate tumors.
Micro-X-ray fluorescence
Micro-X-ray fluorescence (micro-XRF, μ-XRF) is an analytical technique that maps elemental composition at micrometer scale with a focused X-ray beam, non-destructively, used in cultural heritage, geology, and biology.
Microaggression
Microaggression: term coined by Chester Pierce (1970) and revived by Derald Wing Sue (2007) for brief, often unintentional slights communicating hostile messages toward marginalized groups, with three subtypes (microassault, microinsult, microinvalidation) and an active scientific debate.
microagi
microagi is a Munich robotics startup founded in 2025 that records workers performing tasks to teach and deploy robots, raising a record $55 million seed round in 2026.
Microalbuminuria
Microalbuminuria: urinary albumin excretion of 20–200 μg/min or 30–300 mg/24 h, below dipstick detection; term coined 1981 (Viberti, Parving, Svendsen), now replaced by KDIGO A2 moderately increased albuminuria (ACR 30–300 mg/g), a kidney and cardiovascular risk marker in diabetes.
Microangiography
Microangiography is an X-ray imaging technique that visualizes very small blood vessels, typically arterioles of 20 to 200 µm, using radiopaque contrast agents and high-resolution detection.
Microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia
Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) is nonimmune hemolytic anemia in which red blood cells fragment while passing through diseased small blood vessels, producing schistocytes on the blood film.
Microangiopathy
Microangiopathy: disease of small blood vessels (arterioles, capillaries, venules). Covers diabetic microangiopathy (retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy) and thrombotic microangiopathy (TTP, HUS), plus cerebral small-vessel disease.
