Nanomechanics
is a branch of nanoscience
studying fundamental mechanical
(elastic,
thermal and kinetic) properties of physical systems
at the nanometer
scale. Nanomechanics has emerged on the cross-road of classical mechanics, solid-state physics, statistical mechanics, materials science, and quantum chemistry.
As an area of nanoscience,
nanomechanics provides a scientific foundation of nanotechnology.
