Abstract: Microand nanomechanical resonators operating in liquid have been used to measure the change in the mass of either cells or functionalized surfaces attached to the resonator. As the system accretes mass, the natural frequency ...

Abstract: Gas flow through arrays of rectangular nanofins is modeled using the linearized freemolecular drag and heat transfer equations. These are combined with the onedimensional equations for conservation of mass, momentum, and ...

Abstract: Freestanding electrically conductive nanotube and nanobridge structures offer a simple, smallscale, lowpower option for pressure and temperature sensing. To sense pressure, a constant voltage is applied across the bridge. ...

Abstract: Steady state behavior of a thermally actuated RF MEMS switch in the open and closed positions is simulated using the governing thermal and structural equations. The switch is a bridge with a length of 250 microns, a width ...
