The recent adoption of silicon components by the mechanical watch industry has triggered the search for new time bases to advantageously replace the traditional balance and hairspring oscillator. In particular, flexure-based oscillators manufactured in sil ...
Nanofluidic systems offer a huge potential for discovery of new molecular transport and chemical phenomena that can be employed for future technologies. Herein, we report on the transport behavior of surface-reactive compounds in a nanometer-scale flow of ...
It appears that the concerted efforts of the watchmaking industry are leading towards a limit in mechanical watch accuracy. The general consensus in horology is that the time base's quality factor, a dimensionless number that characterizes the oscillator d ...
In Atomic force microscopy (AFM), the tip-sample interaction force can be measured
through two primary detection techniques: optical beam detection (OBD) and electrical (self-sensing)
readout. Compared to the optical method, the convenience of the self-sen ...
This work has been triggered by an industrial project targeting the development of a novel regulation system for a mechanical watch. Mechanical watches have been known for over a century as one of the finest example of energy autonomous devices, embodying ...
Optical detection back-action in cantilever resonant or static detection presents a challenge when striving for state-of-the-art performance. The origin and possible routes for minimizing optical back-action have received little attention in literature. He ...
The scanning thermal microscope (SThM) has become a versatile tool for local surface temperature mapping or measuring thermal properties of solid materials. In this article, we present recent improvements in a SThM system, based on a micro-wire thermocoupl ...
Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) technique enables to overcome Abbe diffraction limit of far-field optics as well as to obtain simultaneously optical and topographical images. While the optical resolution of the method is limited by the apertu ...
Nowadays, sharpened glass fiber - made probes attached to a quartz tuning fork (TF) and exploiting the shear force - based feedback are by far the most popular in the field of SNOM. These probes are expensive, very fragile and their fabrication is difficul ...
Atomic force microscopy is nowadays a well-established technique that permits the investigation of numerous parameters of living matter. In particular, it allows the exploration of the mechanical properties of living organisms in almost physiological condi ...
