A fast and extremely sensitive method for reversible thermal analysis of picoliter volumes of solid samples is presented. Using a micromechanical calorimeter based on the deflection of a bimetallic cantilever, enthalpy changes at phase transitions in n‐alkanes (paraffins) are determined. The key role of volume changes associated with phase transitions is discussed together with a method to separate thermal and volume‐induced stresses associated with these phase transitions.read more

Cantilever transducers as a platform for chemical and biological sensors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss sensors with transducers in a form of cantilevers, which are especially attractive as transducers for chemical and biological sensors, and provide a brief analysis of historical predecessors of the modern cantilever sensors.

Micromechanical cantilever-based biosensors
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize how cantilever-based sensors can be operated, and their working principle is presented in few selected biosensing experiments which have been performed recently in our groups in the study of biotin-streptavidin and antigen-antibody interactions, and specific surface charge development of organic molecules.

Role of material microstructure in plate stiffness with relevance to microcantilever sensors
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of microstructure on microcantilever bending stiffness was examined using an isotropic Hooke's law constitutive relationship, compared to a model based upon a micropolar elasticity constitutive model.

TL;DR: Two switchable, palindromically constituted bistable [3]rotaxanes have been designed and synthesized with a pair of mechanically mobile rings encircling a single dumbbell, supporting the hypothesis that the cumulative nanoscale movements within surface-bound molecular muscles can be harnessed to perform larger-scale mechanical work.
