Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS)

Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) are tiny devices that integrate electrical and mechanical components at the nanoscale (billionths of a meter). They can detect, manipulate, or generate signals by leveraging the mechanical movement of extremely small parts, such as beams or membranes. NEMS are used in high-precision sensors, filters, and switches, often improving performance in electronics, medical diagnostics, and communication technologies. Their small size allows for fast response times, low power consumption, and integration into advanced systems, opening new possibilities in science and engineering.
