TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated the nonlinear dynamics of microcantilevers and showed that at strong driving, the cantilever amplitude is bistable and suggested several applications for the bistability of the canticle.Abstract:
We investigate the nonlinear dynamics of microcantilevers. We demonstrate mechanical stiffening of the frequency response at large amplitudes, originating from the geometric nonlinearity. At strong driving the cantilever amplitude is bistable. We map the bistable regime as a function of drive frequency and amplitude, and suggest several applications for the bistable microcantilever, of which a mechanical memory is demonstrated.read more

Stochastic switching of cantilever motion
TL;DR: Fluctuation-induced transitions between two stable states of a strongly driven microcantilever are reported, suggesting new detection schemes for cantilever-based instrumentation, where the detection of weak signals is mediated by the fluctuating environment.

Self-Organized Synchronization of Phonon Lasers.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the self-organized synchronization of phonon lasers in a two-membrane-in-the-middle optomechanical system, where the probe of each individual membrane enables them to monitor the real-time transient dynamics of synchronization, which reveals that the system enters into the synchronization regime via a torus birth bifurcation line.

Strongly coupled modes in a weakly driven micromechanical resonator
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate a strong coupling between the flexural vibration modes of a clamped-clamped micromechanical resonator vibrating at low amplitudes, which enables direct measurement of the frequency response via amplitude-and phase modulation schemes using the fundamental mode as a mechanical detector.

Single spin detection by magnetic resonance force microscopy
TL;DR: The long relaxation time of the measured signal suggests that the state of an individual spin can be monitored for extended periods of time, even while subjected to a complex set of manipulations that are part of the MRFM measurement protocol.
