Nanomechanics has brought mesoscopic physics into the world of vibrations. Because
nanomechanical systems are small, fluctuations are significant, the vibrations already …

Mechanical systems are ideal candidates for studying quantum behavior of macroscopic
objects. To this end, a mechanical resonator has to be cooled to its ground state and its …

The theory of damping is discussed in Newton's Principia and has been tested in objects as
diverse as the Foucault pendulum, the mirrors in gravitational-wave detectors and …

We present an accurate interatomic potential for graphene, constructed using the Gaussian
approximation potential (GAP) machine learning methodology. This GAP model obtains a …

Micro-and nanoelectromechanical systems have numerous applications in sensing and
signal transduction. Many properties benefit from reducing the system size to the nanoscale …

We fabricated large arrays of suspended, single-layer graphene membrane resonators
using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth followed by patterning and transfer. We …

Oscillators, which produce continuous periodic signals from direct current power, are central
to modern communications systems, with versatile applications including timing references …

Atomically thin semiconducting crystals [such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)] have
outstanding electrical, optical, and mechanical properties, thus making them excellent …

This article is a review of the dissipation processes in nanoelectromechanical systems
(NEMS). As NEMS technology becomes more and more prevalent in research and …

The combination of low mass density, high frequency and high quality factor, Q, of
mechanical resonators made of two-dimensional crystals such as graphene,,,,,,, make them …
