我们提出了一种基于纳米机电元件的全机械计算机。我们的目标是联合收割机这种经典的方法与现代纳米技术建立一个纳米机械计算机（NMC）的基础上纳米机械晶体管。构建这样的计算机背后的主要动机是三方面的：（i）机械元件比纯粹基于互补金属氧化物半导体（CMOS）技术的当前动态随机存取存储器（DRAM）对电磁冲击更鲁棒，（ii）耗散的功率可以是低于CMOS的数量级，以及（iii）这样的NMC的操作温度可以是高于常规CMOS的操作温度的数量级。
We propose a fully mechanical computer based on nanoelectromechanical elements. Our aim is to combine this classical approach with modern nanotechnology to build a nanomechanical computer (NMC) based on nanomechanical transistors. The main motivation behind constructing such a computer is threefold: (i) mechanical elements are more robust to electromagnetic shocks than current dynamic random access memory (DRAM) based purely on complimentary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, (ii) the power dissipated can be orders of magnitude below CMOS and (iii) the operating temperature of such an NMC can be an order of magnitude above that of conventional CMOS.
