An atomic-resolution nanomechanical mass sensor. (2008, background): “They are naturally much smaller and less dense than resonators manufactured using standard e-beam lithographic techniques, and thus their mass (∼1−21 kg ) is typically more than four orders of magnitude less than state-of-the-art micromachined resonators (∼1−17 kg )”
Optomechanical device actuation through the optical gradient force (2010, background): “Micromechanical structures such as cantilevers and doubly clamped beams are now already widely used for this purpose, and resolution down to the zeptogram scale has been demonstrate”
A nanomechanical mass sensor with yoctogram resolution. (2012, methodology): “using microfabricated resonators [10] and as low as about 200 yg using carbon”
Mechanical systems in the quantum regime (2011, background): “Finally, NEMS may find an application in mass sensing [352,353,78,77,76,354,97,355]: the state-of-the-art is that single gold atoms can be measured (see Section 4).”
Thermal nonlinearities in a nanomechanical oscillator (2013, background): “Indeed, according to equation (2), an average thermal excitation of the orthogonal modes (y and z) leads to an average shift in the frequency of the mode under consideration (here x).”
Dissipation in nanoelectromechanical systems (2014, background): “great precision makes them suitable as oscillators [47–49] for frequency standards, mass sensors [50,5,51,28,52], in nuclear magnetic resonance detection [53], gyroscopes, accelerometers, electro-mechanical filters [54], high-speed switches [55,56], logic elements [32,57], biotechnology applications”
