IC-integrated flexible shear-stress sensor skin [PDF]
, 2003 This paper reports the successful development of the first IC-integrated flexible MEMS shear-stress sensor skin. The sensor skin is 1 cm wide, 2 cm long, and 70 /spl mu/m thick. It contains 16 shear-stress sensors, which are arranged in a 1-D array, with

Meniscus-Mediated Imaging of Soft Biological Membranes Using 200 kN/m Ultra-Stiff 15 MHz MEMS AFM Probes. [PDF]
J Mol RecognitABSTRACT Coronaviruses, among other membrane‐enveloped viruses, can remain infectious on surfaces in ambient air for days. Many bacteria and fungi also expose their plasma membranes to air environments. Key survival strategies in air include hydrophobic coatings to prevent water loss and waxy or silica‐based resistant cell walls.

Electrically tunable collective response in a coupled micromechanical array [PDF]
, 2002 We employ optical diffraction to study the mechanical properties of a grating array of suspended doubly clamped beams made of Au. The device allows application of electrostatic coupling between the beams that gives rise to formation of a band of normal ...
