Nano-mechanical signature of brain tumours

Nanoscale, 2016
Glioblastoma (GBM) and meningothelial meningioma (MM) are the most frequent malignant and benign brain lesions, respectively. Mechanical cues play a major role in the progression of both malignancies that is modulated by the occurrence of aberrant physical interactions between neoplastic cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM). Here we investigate the

The nano-mechanical morphology of shale

Mechanics of Materials, 2008
Abstract Shale, the sealing formations in most hydrocarbon reservoirs, is made of highly compacted clay particles of sub-micrometer size, nanometric porosity and different mineralogy. In this paper, we propose and validate a technique to identify the nano-mechanical morphology of such a nanocomposite material.

Chemotherapeutic resistance: a nano-mechanical point of view

Biological Chemistry, 2018
Abstract Chemotherapeutic resistance is one of the main obstacles for cancer remission. To understand how cancer cells acquire chemotherapeutic resistance, biochemical studies focusing on drug target alteration, altered cell proliferation, and reduced susceptibility to apoptosis were performed. Advances in nano-mechanobiology showed that

Nano-mechanical Properties

2018
With the development of production from shale oil and shale gas in North America during the last decade, more studies are being conducted in order to improve our knowledge of the shale characteristics. In this chapter, we talk about mechanical properties of shale samples in micro- and nano-scale.

Modelling and Simulations of a Nano-Mechanical Transistor [PDF]

open access: possible, 2011
This paper describes a physical and mathematical model of a new device called nanomechanical transistor able to control a current through a small pilot voltage. The novelty of the device relies in its mechanical working principle where nanopillars vibrate between electrodes providing a mechanical shuttling mechanism for electric charge transportation ...

Functionalization Protocols of Silicon Micro/Nano-mechanical Biosensors

2013
Functionalization is a key element in biodetection technologies such as micro/nano-mechanical sensors. Since assay sensitivity and stability drastically depends on a proper bioreceptor immobilization, the sensing surface must be first chemically modified with uniform, well-packed, and robust layers.

Optically excited nano-mechanical modes of a droplet

Optics Letters
We show that a surging radiation pressure excites well-defined nanoscale optomechanical discrete modes of a sessile droplet. Using a pump-probe approach, we isolate growth and damped oscillations of droplet modes from background evaporation and steady-state bulge.
