NEMS (Nanoelectromechanical Systems)

Nanoelectromechanical Systems (NEMS) are tiny devices that combine electrical and mechanical components at the nanometer scale, about a billionth of a meter. They integrate sensors, actuators, and circuits to detect or manipulate very small forces, masses, or signals. NEMS are used in applications like highly sensitive sensors, advanced medical diagnostics, and next-generation electronics. Due to their small size, they can offer faster response times, lower power consumption, and higher sensitivity compared to larger systems, enabling innovations in technology and scientific research.
