Here we apply nanomechanical resonators to the study of oscillatory fluid dynamics. A high-resonance-frequency nanomechanical resonator generates a rapidly oscillating flow in a surrounding gaseous environment; the nature of the flow is studied through the flow-resonator interaction. Over the broad frequency and pressure range explored, we observe signs of a transition from Newtonian to non-Newtonian flow at omega tau approximately 1, where tau is a properly defined fluid relaxation time. The obtained experimental data appear to be in close quantitative agreement with a theory that predicts a purely elastic fluid response as omega tau --> infinity.

Single cell adhesion plays a significant role in numerous physiological and pathological processes. Real-time imaging and quantification of single cell adhesion kinetics and corresponding cell-substrate mechanical interaction forces are crucial for elucidating the cellular mechanisms involved in tissue formation, immune responses, and cancer metastasis. Here, we present the development of a plasmonic-based nanomechanical sensing and imaging system (PNMSi) for the real-time measurement of single cell adhesion kinetics and associated nanomechanical forces with plasmonic tracking and monitoring of cell-substrate interactions and the accompanying nanoscale fluctuations.

Cold ions in traps are well-established, highly controllable systems with a wide variety of applications in quantum science, precision spectroscopy, clocks, and chemistry. Nanomechanical oscillators are used in advanced sensing applications and for exploring the border between classical and quantum physics. Here, we report on the implementation of a hybrid system combining a metallic nanowire with laser-cooled ions in a miniaturized ion trap.

The MNS is made of a metallic core and a dielectric shell. The results show that, the four-wave mixing signal is suppressed significantly due to multipole polarizations in comparison to that in the dipole approximation.

Deconvoluting the vibrations and harmonics in solid-solid interfaces is crucial for designing materials with improved performance, durability, and functionality. The measured vibrating microcantilever signal in the dynamic atomic force microscopy (AFM) encompasses a multitude of distinct signatures reflecting a diverse array of material properties. Nevertheless, uncertainties persist in decoding these signatures, primarily arising from the interplay between attractive and repulsive forces.
