Question

What is MEMS? What is NEMS? What are their differences? How can Nanotechnology improve in the manufacture and performance of them?

Answer 1

Microelectromechanical systems : MEMS and also known as MicroElectroMechanical or micro-electro-mechanical system. This technology mends for very very small devices. The component size of Microelectromechanical systems varies from 1 to 100 micrometers. MEMS comprises central unit that processes microprocessor.

NEMS: On the other side Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) belongs to those devices that run them at nanoscale level. It may be called as miniaturization of MEMS.

Nanotechnology is highly advance field of science especially biological science where nanotechnology is being targeted for drug delivery at specified organs. Drugs and vaccines can be targeted at nano level so that it reaches only the affected area and not others. It has tremendous application in cancer therapy, skin rejuvenation and other biologically active process. Nanotechnolgy is also being implemented in clothing lines for making nanofibers which are easy to wash or sometime does not require washing. By Using NEMS an effective treatment strategies could be developed.
