The focus is on the representation and processing of information based on nanomechanical bits. Several device concepts are discussed ranging from nano-electromechanical systems in silicon to circuits based on carbon nano-tube switches, combinations of nanomechanical resonators and traditional transistors, and integration into a computing architecture. The strengths of mechanical systems include their scalability, robustness to external electrical shocks, and their low-energy consumption. Hence, they may lead the way to new forms of ultradense memory and alternative routes of computing. In conjunction with quantum mechanical single electron circuits, nano-electromechanical systems may also have potential for quantum computational circuits.
