What is nanomechanics?
• Well… it’s the study of the mechanical
properties of very very small things
• A nanometer is 10-9 meters
1 nm = 0.000000001 m
100,000 nm ≈ diameter of a human hair
1 nm ≈ diameter of 10 atoms

How is nanomechanics different than
(macro)mechanics?
• Thermal fluctuations significantly affect the
motion of small bodies
• Quantum mechanical fluctuations affect the
motion of even bodies
smaller

Why study nanomechanics?
• Link between classical mechanics and
statistical mechanics
• Link between classical mechanics and
quantum mechanics
• Smaller sensors are more sensitive
