TLDR
In this paper, an alternative sensor architecture and method for mass sensing is presented to address these concerns, based upon the coupling of a host linear structure to a small bistable inclusion, which enables unique functionality including means for passive mass quantification and direct adjustment of bifurcation sweeping rate for reliable detection and enhanced robustness to noise.
