Nanomechanics

Nanomechanics

It is the branch of nanoscience which deals with the study and application of fundamental mechanical properties of physical systems at the nanoscale, like elastic, thermal, kinetic. Nanomechanics is a scientific foundation of nanotechnology.

Nanomechanics has emerged on the cross-road of classical mechanics, solid-state physics, statistical mechanics, materials science, and quantum chemistry.

Nanomaterials, nanotribology, nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), and nanofluidics are well-established fields of nanomechanics.
