The field of cantilever-based sensing emerged in the mid-1990s and is today a well-known
technology for label-free sensing which holds promise as a technique for cheap, portable …

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

Piezoresistive sensors are among the earliest micromachined silicon devices. The need for
smaller, less expensive, higher performance sensors helped drive early micromachining …

We show that the capacitance of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is highly
sensitive to a broad class of chemical vapors and that this transduction mechanism can form …

Research activity in chemical gas sensing is currently directed towards the search for highly
selective (bio) chemical layer materials, and to the design of arrays consisting of different …

Alongshore sediment transport that is driven by waves is generally assumed to smooth a
coastline. This assumption is valid for small angles between the wave crest lines and the …

The sensing behavior of polymer-coated resonant cantilevers for mass-sensitive detection of
volatile organic compounds was investigated. Industrial complementary metal oxide …

Microfabrication processes for chemical and biochemical sensors are reviewed. Standard
processing steps originating from semiconductor technology are detailed, and specific …

Nanomechanical cantilever sensors have been emerging as a key device for real-time and
label-free detection of various analytes ranging from gaseous to biological molecules. The …

Modern gas sensor technology is becoming an important part of our lives. It has been
applied within the home (monitoring CO levels from boilers), the workplace (eg, checking …
