For the past three decades nanoscience has widely affected many areas in physics,
chemistry and engineering, and has led to numerous fundamental discoveries, as well as …

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

Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) hold promise for a number of scientific and
technological applications. In particular, NEMS oscillators have been proposed for use in …

The enormous stiffness and low density of graphene make it an ideal material for
nanoelectromechanical applications. Here, we demonstrate the fabrication and electrical …

Scanning probe microscopies (SPM) and cantilever-based sensors generally use low-
frequency mechanical devices of microscale dimensions or larger. Almost universally, off …

Mechanical resonators are widely used as inertial balances to detect small quantities of
adsorbed mass through shifts in oscillation frequency. Advances in lithography and …

We propose an experiment for creating quantum superposition states involving of the order
of 10 14 atoms via the interaction of a single photon with a tiny mirror. This mirror, mounted …

Why write another book on mechanics? There are, after all, a number of excellent texts that
describe in great detail the way classical solids behave when acted upon by static and time …

The theory of dam** 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 …

Written by three leading experts in the field, this book describes and explains all essential
aspects of scanning probe microscopy. Emphasis is placed on the experimental design and …
