Abstract: Temperatureand stiffnessdependent edge forces offer new mechanisms of designing nanodevices driven by temperature and stiffness gradients. Here, we investigate the edge forces in a graphene nanolayer on a spring supported ...

Abstract: Intrinsic driving mechanism is of particular significance to nanoscale mass delivery and device design. Stiffness gradient-driven directional motion, i.e., nanodurotaxis, provides an intrinsic driving mechanism, but an ...
