Mechanical Switching

Mechanical Switching is a nanoscale switching mechanism in nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) wherein electrical contact or signal transmission is achieved through the physical movement of a mechanical element, distinguishing it from solid-state or electronic switching mechanisms by relying on direct electromechanical actuation to open or close a circuit.
