Nanomechanics

Nanomechanics has emerged at the crossroads of classical mechanics, solid-state physics, statistical mechanics, materials science, and quantum chemistry and employs these fundamental principles in the development of nanodevices. By engineering nanomaterials for use in devices, scientists can influence drug delivery systems, force sensors for extremely small forces, and build equipment for use in the hunt for dark photons, the invisible counterpart to photons.
