Project Description
The project's goal was to demonstrate concepts and devices for ultra-low power, highly miniaturized functional blocks for sensing and electronics. At the core are carbon nanotube mechanical resonators, which can be tuned via straining over a wide frequency range, offer an unprecedented sensitivity to strain or mass loading, and all these with a very low power consumption.
