    Composite materials are a combination of materials that provide different physical characteristics than either material separately. They are designed to be stronger, more rigid, and lighter while reducing corrosion. Carbon fiber reinforced composites are used in applications like spacecraft and fishing rods. Mechatronics combines mechanical, electronic, and software engineering in electro-mechanical systems, using sensors like strain gauges. Nanotechnology involves mechanical engineering at the smallest scales, with goals like molecular assemblers to build materials through mechanosynthesis, while current research includes nanofilters, nanofilms, and nanostructures.

    Main article: Composite material
    Composites or composite materials are a combination of materials which
    provide different physical characteristics than either material separately.
    Composite material research within mechanical engineering typically
    focuses on designing (and, subsequently, finding applications for) stronger
    or more rigid materials while attempting to reduce weight, susceptibility to
    corrosion, and other undesirable factors. Carbon fiber reinforced
    composites, for instance, have been used in such diverse applications as
    spacecraft and fishing rods.
    Mechatronics[edit]
    Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of mechanical
    engineering, electronic engineering, and software engineering. The
    discipline of mechatronics began as a way to combine mechanical
    principles with electrical engineering. Mechatronic concepts are used in the
    majority of electro-mechanical systems.[36] Typical electro-mechanical
    sensors used in mechatronics are strain gauges, thermocouples, and
    pressure transducers.
    Nanotechnology[edit]
    Main article: Nanotechnology
    At the smallest scales, mechanical engineering becomes nanotechnology
    —one speculative goal of which is to create a molecular assembler to build
    molecules and materials via mechanosynthesis. For now that goal remains
    within exploratory engineering. Areas of current mechanical engineering
    research in nanotechnology include nanofilters, [37]nanofilms,[38] and
    nanostructures,[39] among others.
