The first computers were built using electro-mechanical components, unlike today’s modern electronic systems. Alan Turing’s cryptanalysis multiplier and Konrad Zuse’s Z2 were invented and built in the ...

A fascinating nature of two-dimensional materials is that they are atomic layer thin films that can be electrically-driven into vibration and serve as nano-electro-mechanical resonators (NEMS) with ...

The car biz is awash in air and oil suspension systems, so why try to make electrons do this heavy lifting? To start with, electro-mechanical systems promise quicker reaction times than are possible ...
