“Nanofabrication” is the process of making functional structures with arbitrary patterns
having minimum dimensions currently defined (more-or-less arbitrarily) to be e100 nm …

Since the late 1980s there have been spectacular developments in micromechanical or
microelectro-mechanical (MEMS) systems which have enabled the exploration of …

We report the specific transduction, via surface stress changes, of DNA hybridization and
receptor-ligand binding into a direct nanomechanical response of microfabricated …

Written by three leading experts in the field, this book describes and explains all essential
aspects of scanning probe microscopy. Emphasis is placed on the experimental design and …

The maturation of nanotechnology has revealed it to be a unique and distinct discipline
rather than a specialization within a larger field. Its textbook cannot afford to be a chemistry …

Common industrial lubricants include natural and synthetic hydrocarbons and
perfluoropolyethers (PFPEs), where the latter is widely used in commercial applications …

Fundamental aspects and state-of-the-art results of thermal scanning probe lithography (t-
SPL) are reviewed here. t-SPL is an emerging direct-write nanolithography method with …

In two editions spanning more than a decade, The Electrical Engineering Handbook stands
as the definitive reference to the multidisciplinary field of electrical engineering. Our …

Present a new scanning-probe-based data-storage concept called the" millipede" that
combines ultrahigh density, terabit capacity, small form factor, and high data rate. Ultrahigh …

The micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) need to be designed to perform
expected functions typically in millisecond to picosecond range. Expected life of the devices …
