Nanoresonators: the plot thickens amid new insights
A team of researchers from Leti along with three of Leti’s international partners* have finally shed new light on the discrepancy of up to two orders of magnitude between the theoretical detection limits of nanoresonators and the resonators’ actual performance.
Until now, it was believed that the tiniest mass or force that could be detected by a nanoresonator depended on temperature fluctuations in the resonator’s environment. Given that state-of-the-art resonators offer...
Michel Barsoum (Drexel University, Pennsylvania):
« I hope to spend more time in Grenoble in the coming years »
You are known worldwide for your work on materials, particularly MAX phases. What brought you to Grenoble for three months?
