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

What to measure? is a key question in nanoscience, and it is not straightforward to address
as different physicochemical properties define a nanoparticle sample. Most prominent …

Diamond with an ultra-wide bandgap shows intrinsic performance that is extraordinarily
superior to those of the currently available wide-bandgap semiconductors for deep …

We demonstrate single-particle charge detection mass spectrometry on an Orbitrap for the
analysis of megadalton biomolecular assemblies. We establish that the signal amplitudes of …

Solid state gas sensors are a core enabling technology to a range of measurement
applications including industrial, safety, and environmental monitoring. The technology …

Micro and nanoelectromechanical systems M/NEMS have been extensively investigated
and exploited in the past few decades for various applications and for probing fundamental …

Piezoelectric microelectromechanical system (piezo-MEMS)-based mass sensors including
the piezoelectric microcantilevers, surface acoustic waves (SAW), quartz crystal …

Fingerprint analysis is a ubiquitous tool for pattern recognition with applications spanning
from geolocation and DNA analysis to facial recognition and forensic identification. Central …

Measurement of the mass of particles in the mega-to gigadalton range is challenging with
conventional mass spectrometry. Although this mass range appears optimal for …

The response of the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM, also: QCM-D for “QCM with
Dissipation monitoring”) to loading with a diverse set of samples is reviewed in a consistent …
