Exceptional points (EPs) have recently emerged as a new method for engineering the
response of open physical systems, that is, systems that interact with the environment. The …

An increasing impact of micromechanically governed uncertainties is nowadays foreseen
due to the trend of progressively reducing the footprint of MEMS (microelectromechanical …

This paper presents a novel one-degree-of-freedom microelectromechanical systems
(MEMS) force sensor. The high-bandwidth device contains on-chip sensing and actuation …

This paper characterizes the sensitivity of a time domain MEMS accelerometer. The
sensitivity is defined by the increment in the measured time interval per gravitational …

We introduce two essential building blocks with binary stiffness for mechanical digital
