Abstract: Abstract It has been almost forgotten that the first computers envisaged by Charles Babbage in the early 1800s were mechanical1,2 and not electronic, but the development of high-frequency nanoelectromechanical systems is now promising a range of new applications3, including sensitive mechanical charge detectors4 and mechanical devices for high-frequency signal processing5, biological imaging6 and quantum measurement7,8,9. Here we describe the construction of nanodevices that will operate with fundamental frequencies in the previously inaccessible microwave range (greater than 1 gigahertz). This achievement represents a significant advance in the quest for extremely high-frequency nanoelectromechanical systems.
