Nanotechnology is the science of understanding matter and the control of matter at
dimensions of 100 nm or less. Encompassing nanoscale science, engineering, and …

Atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilevers with integrated heaters enable nanometer-scale
heat flow measurements, materials characterization, nanomanufacturing, and many other …

The main challenge in the commercialization of the RF-MEMS switches is their reliability,
related to both the electrical and mechanical domains. The development of test standards …

In this article we introduce a, video-rate, control system that can be used with any type of
scanning probe microscope, and that allows frame rates up to 200 images∕ s⁠. These …

Examining the physical and technical foundation for recent progress with this technique,
Applied Scanning Probe Methods offers a timely and comprehensive overview of SPM …

Ultrahigh storage densities can be achieved by using a thermomechanical scanning-probe-
based data-storage approach to write, read back, and erase data in very thin polymer films …

We report the measurement of protein interaction with double-stranded DNA
oligonucleotides using cantilever microarray technology. We investigated two different DNA …

A novel micromachined silicon displacement sensor based on the conduction of heat
between two surfaces through the ambient air is described. A displacement resolution of …

We describe a planar microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based x/y nanopositioner
designed for parallel-probe storage applications. The nanopositioner is actuated …

Micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS)-based scanning-probe data-storage devices are
emerging as potential ultra-high-density, low-access-time, and low-power alternative to …
