Graphene nano-mechanical-switches could make our electronics even smaller and ultra-low-power

Quest for an ideal switching device for ultra-low power applications leads to an exploration of novel micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS) switches. This research has been driven by the superior performance of M/NEMS devices, such as ideally abrupt switching with zero off-state leakage, suitable for harsh and extreme environments, and very small footprints.
