NANO- AND MICROELECTROMECHANICAL SYSTEMS
The development and deployment of NEMS and MEMS are critical to the U.S. economy and society because nano- and microtechnologies will lead to major breakthroughs in information technology and computers, medicine and health, manufacturing and transportation, power and energy systems, and avionics and national security. NEMS and MEMS have important impacts in medicine and bioengineering (DNA and genetic code analysis and synthesis, drug delivery, diagnostics, and imaging), bio and information technologies, avionics, and aerospace (nano- and microscale actuators and sensors, smart reconfigurable geometry wings and blades, space-based flexible structures, and microgyroscopes), automotive systems and transportation (sensors and actuators, accelerometers), manufacturing and fabrication, public safety, etc. During the last years, the government and the high-technology industry have heavily funded basic and applied research in NEMS and MEMS due to the current and potential rapidly..
