Graphenea launches large area monolayer graphene suspended over microcavities

Graphenea recently introduced large area monolayer graphene suspended over microcavities as a standard catalog product, that can be used for NEMS (Nanoelectromechanical systems) due to its reliance on small vibrating membranes, which are sensitive to tiny forces.

NEMS are entering mainstream technology through sensors and actuators in platforms as common as inkjet printers, accelerometers, displays, and optical switches. The membranes used in NEMS need to be lightweight and stiff, with a high Young’s modulus. As such, graphene is a very promising candidate for applications that require ultrathin membranes with excellent mechanical properties.
