Atomic Mechanics has been spun out of Manchester to couple semiconductors with graphene to build highly reactive pressure sensors.
University of Manchester announced last week it has spun out Atomic Mechanics, a UK-based miniaturised materials company that will develop highly reactive pressure sensors for semiconductors.
Atomic Mechanics, incorporated in February 2017, will build sensors that combine silicon chips with graphene. Graphene is so thin it is defined as two dimensional, but at the same time possesses high flexibility and strength, thus making it useful for detecting pressure.
The approach would involve holding graphene parts just nanometres above the silicon…
