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

Traditionally, the primary field, where curvature has been at the heart of research, is the
theory of general relativity. In recent studies, however, the impact of curvilinear geometry …

Nanoscale magnetic imaging can provide microscopic information about length scales,
inhomogeneity and interactions of materials systems. As such, it is a powerful tool to probe …

Focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) is a direct-write nanofabrication
technique able to pattern three-dimensional magnetic nanostructures at resolutions …

Cooling down nanomechanical force probes is a generic strategy to enhance their
sensitivities through the concomitant reduction of their thermal noise and mechanical …

We report the development of a scanning force microscope based on an ultrasensitive
silicon nitride membrane optomechanical transducer. Our development is made possible by …

Micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS), especially micro/nanomechanical
resonators, provide an unprecedented platform for investigating a wide range of applications …

The field of nanoscale magnetic resonance imaging (NanoMRI) was started 30 years ago. It
was motivated by the desire to image single molecules and molecular assemblies, such as …

Nanomechanical resonators can serve as ultrasensitive, miniaturized force probes. While
vertical structures such as nanopillars are ideal for this purpose, transducing their motion is …
