Atomic Mechanics is a limited company based in Manchester, founded in 2017. It has been created to design, manufacture and commercialise a range of sensor and actuator devices based on a patented graphene-based technology.

​

Atomic Mechanics is currently working in close partnership with the National Graphene Institute at the University of Manchester to develop its first two products; a robust pressure sensors and a transparent flexible touch interface. 

These products are manufactured using state of the are clean-room facilities using 2d material fabrication technology and the Atomic Mechanics core know-how of graphene-polymer films.
