MEMS/NEMS resonant sensors hold promise for minute mass and force sensing. However,
one major challenge is that conventional externally driven sensors inevitably encounter …

Weighing particles above the megadalton mass range has been a persistent challenge in
commercial mass spectrometry. Recently, nanoelectromechanical systems-based mass …

Brownian motion imposes a hard limit on the overall precision of a nanomechanical
measurement. Here, we present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the …

We study the response of a weakly damped vibrational mode of a nanostring resonator to a
moderately strong resonant driving force. Because of the geometry of the experiment, the …

Piezoresistive strain gauges allow for electronic readout of mechanical deformations with
high fidelity. As piezoresistive strain gauges are aggressively being scaled down for …

Here we study viscous oscillatory nanoflows generated in a fluid by mechanical oscillations
of miniaturized resonators. In particular, we focus on the limits of two-dimensional cylinder …

Even a relatively weak drive force is enough to push a typical nanomechanical resonator
into the nonlinear regime. Consequently, nonlinearities are widespread in nanomechanics …

The oscillatory dynamics of nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) is at the heart of many
emerging applications in nanotechnology. For common NEMS, such as beams and strings …

We study the electrothermal actuation of nanomechanical motion using a combination of
numerical simulations and analytical solutions. The nanoelectrothermal actuator structure is …

We explore the dynamics of a nanoscale doubly clamped beam that is under high tension,
immersed in a viscous fluid, and driven externally by a spatially varying drive force. We …
