VERA SAZONOVA, 30

摘要

Microelectromechanical systems, or MEMS, play a key role in gyroscopes, tiny chemical sensors, optical switches used in the telecom industry, and more. An even smaller version ot the technology- nanoelectromechanical systems, or NEMS-could likewise have broad technological importance. Vera Sazonova has made the world's smallest NEMS device: a tiny resonator that consists of a single carbon nanotube suspended over a silicon gate.
