Nano Electro Mechanical Systems (NEMS) are the integration of electrical and mechanical functionalities on the nanoscale. They are the next evolutionary step from Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS), involving devices typically ranging from 1 nanometer to 100 nanometers in size. NEMS combine the principles of nanotechnology and mechanical engineering to create devices that can perform functions such as sensing, actuation, and control.
