The advances in micro-and nanofabrication technologies enable the preparation of
increasingly smaller mechanical transducers capable of detecting the forces, motion …

The lifetimes of the acoustic vibrations of metal nanostructures depend sensitively on the
properties of the environment, such as the acoustic impedance and viscosity. In order to …

Two types of magnetostrictive resonators–magnetostrictive microcantilever (MSMC) and
magnetostrictive particle (MSP)–have been introduced as sensor platforms. Their principles …

It is increasingly recognized that cell signaling, as a chemical process, must be considered
at the local, micrometer scale. Micro-and nanofabrication techniques provide access to …

This paper investigates the fundamental sensitivity of oscillator-based reactance sensors,
which are widely used in numerous types of biomedical sensing applications. We first show …

To colonize surfaces, the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus employs a polar
polysaccharide, the holdfast, located at the end of a thin, long stalk protruding from the cell …

A continuum finite element model for the nanoscale plates considering the surface effect of
the material is developed. Governing equations for Kirchoff and Mindlin nanoplates are …

In this paper, the dynamic response analysis of single walled boron nitride nanotubes
(SWBNNTs) has been done using a finite element method (FEM). To this end, different types …
