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

This review provides a comprehensive survey of noise research in MEMS. Some
background on noise and on MEMS is provided. We review noise production mechanisms …

We present a resonant mass sensor for specific biomolecular detection in a subnanoliter
fluid volume. The sensing principle is based on measuring shifts in resonance frequency of …

We report label-free protein detection using a microfabricated cantilever-based sensor that
is functionalized with DNA aptamers to act as receptor molecules. The sensor utilizes two …

It has recently been shown that bimaterial microcantilevers can be used as uncooled
infrared detectors. Bimaterial microcantilevers deform as their temperature changes due to …

This study presented an overview of current developments in optical micro-
electromechanical systems in biomedical applications. Optical micro-electromechanical …

Methods for detecting estradiol and metabolites thereof in a sample are provided. A plurality
of particles, each of which is coated with a capture agent having an affinity forestradiol, is …

We report measurements with a micromachined mechanical biosensor that inherently
suppresses background effects by producing a differential signal with respect to a reference …
