The nanomembrane itself is made of silicon nitrate and is coated with a thin layer of aluminum, because there has to be a metallic substance to better interact with the electric field. The membrane is separated from the surroundings by being enclosed in a vacuum chamber so that it responds as if it had been cooled down to two degrees Kelvin (minus 271 C).
