Nano Electro Mechanical Systems

NEMS is an acronym for "Nano Electro Mechanical Systems". The company NEMS AB develops devices based on a proprietary technology platform under US patent number 6,818,959. These can have a broad variety of applications such as bio sensors, electrical switches and filters, and optical devices. Despite the variety of uses, they share some common characteristics. Due to nanometer dimensions, and the use of light materials, the devices achieve performance in terms of speed, sensitivity and versatility that challenges or surpasses the limitations of technological achievement to date. Another common denominator is the possibility of simple, low cost fabrication, made possible by developments in Nano Imprint Lithography (NIL).
