On-line solid phase extraction (SPE) coupled to liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry
(LC–MS) and biosensors are advanced technologies that have found increasing application …

Nanoelectromechanical systems were fabricated from single-and multilayer graphene
sheets by mechanically exfoliating thin sheets from graphite over trenches in silicon oxide …

Using an atomic force microscope, we measured effective spring constants of stacks of
graphene sheets (less than 5) suspended over photolithographically defined trenches in …

Nanomechanical resonators enable the measurement of mass with extraordinary
sensitivity,,,,,,. Previously, samples as light as 7 zeptograms (1 zg= 10-21 g) have been …

With the increasing requirements for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) regarding
stability, miniaturization and integration, novel materials such as wide band gap …

We have employed a chip-bending method to exert continuous and reversible control over
the tensile stress in doubly clamped nanomechanical beam resonators. Tensile stress is …

The combination of biology and nanotechnology has led to a new generation of
nanodevices that make it possible to characterize the chemical, mechanical, and other …

We evaluated the potential and limitations of resonating nanomechanical microcantilevers
for the detection of mass adsorption. As a test system we used mass addition of gold layers …

Analytical expressions are provided for the energy loss from vibrating mechanical
resonators into their support structures for two limiting cases: supports that can be treated as …
