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

The explosive growth of the information era has put forward urgent requirements for
ultrahigh‐speed and extremely efficient computations. In direct contrary to charge‐based …

The dissemination of sensors is key to realizing a sustainable,'intelligent'world, where
everyday objects and environments are equipped with sensing capabilities to advance the …

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

Motion is a key characteristic of every form of life. Even at the microscale, it has been
reported that colonies of bacteria can generate nanomotion on mechanical cantilevers, but …

Nonlinearities are inherent to the dynamics of two-dimensional materials. Phenomena-like
intermodal coupling already arise at amplitudes of only a few nanometers, and a range of …

During the past decades micro-electromechanical microphones have largely taken over the
market for portable devices, being produced in volumes of billions yearly. Because …

In nanomechanical photothermal absorption spectroscopy and microscopy, the measured
substance becomes a part of the detection system itself, inducing a nanomechanical …

The motion of a vibrating object is determined by the way it is held. This simple observation
has long inspired string instrument makers to create new sounds by devising elegant string …

Mechanical nonlinearities dominate the motion of nanoresonators already at relatively small
oscillation amplitudes. Although single and coupled two-degree-of-freedom models have …
