With increasing challenges towards continued scaling and improvement in performance
faced by electronic computing, mechanical computing has started to attract growing …

Nano/micro-electromechanical (NEM/MEM) contact switches have great potential as energy-
efficient and high-temperature-operable computing units to surmount those limitations of …

This brief analyzes the operation of the three-inverter Schmitt trigger (TI-ST) at ultra-low
supply voltages. Included in the analysis is a model to predict the supply voltage at which …

We discuss in detail, the design of a nanorobot that can navigate, detect cancer cells in the
blood and actuate the exposure of drugs. The nanorobot is designed with blood energy …

The operating voltage of a nanoelectromechanical (NEM) relay can be scaled down
significantly using negative capacitance (NC), which is a unique property of ferroelectric …

Operation of micro-electro-mechanical (MEM) relays at temperatures down to 4 K is
demonstrated for the first time. Due to a dramatic reduction in hysteretic switching behavior …

Electrical circuits require ideal switches with low power consumption for future electronic
applications. However, transistors, the most developed electrical switches available …

We study the electrothermal actuation of nanomechanical motion using a combination of
numerical simulations and analytical solutions. The nanoelectrothermal actuator structure is …

A 4-terminal microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) relay has long been sought for signal
switching applications because it allows de-coupling of the actuation (body and gate) and …

The fusion of micro-cantilevers over complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)
wafers (with driving electronics) is essential integration requirement for the development of …
