Fardian-Melamed et al. showed that force can do the same. The authors used an atomic force microscope (AFM) to apply force to a doped sodium yttrium fluoride nanocrystal, and measured the ...

The newly developed miniature six-component force/torque sensor (20mm in diameter and 16mm in height, patent pending) with full digital output has been developed for the fingertip of the new ...

Researchers report that they have invented new nanoscale sensors of force. They are luminescent nanocrystals that can change intensity and/or color when you push or pull on them. These 'all ...

Nanoscale luminescent force sensors excel at measuring piconewton forces, while larger sensors have proven powerful in probing micronewton forces. However, large gaps remain in the force ...
