Small machines: novel physics in nanoelectromechanical systems

Nanotechnology aspires to create devices that are not merely small, but fundamentally different than possible macroscopic analogs. In this talk I will describe several different nanoscale devices that we have realized experimentally. Each device can be usefully compared to a familiar macroscopic system, but exploits physics unique to small length scales.
