Electromechanical circuit sets record beating microscopic 'drum'

Wednesday, March 9, 2011 - 15:30 in Physics & Chemistry

Physicists have demonstrated an electromechanical circuit in which microwaves communicate with a vibrating mechanical component 1,000 times more vigorously than ever achieved before in similar experiments. The microscopic apparatus is a new tool for processing information and potentially could control the motion of a relatively large object at the smallest possible, or quantum, scale.
