Mechanics at the nano-scale is quite different from continuum mechanics. Nanomechanics is basic and essential in all areas of nano science, materials and engineering. Basic principles and experimental tools, multi-scale simulation, self-assembly as well as nanomechanics in information technology, biotechnology, micro/nano electronics [M/NEM] and other issues are presented. Recent workshops, research issues, research projects, as well as opportunities and challenges in nanomechanics are also discussed.
