Non-volatile rewritable frequency tuning of a nanoelectromechanical resonator using photoinduced doping
David J. Miller, Andrew Blaikie, Benjamin J. Aleman
Tuning the frequency of a resonant element is of vital importance in both the macroscopic world, such as when tuning a musical instrument, as well as at the nanoscale. In particula…

Self-propelled film-boiling liquids
H. Linke, B. J. Aleman, L. D. Melling +6
We report that liquids perform self-propelled motion when they are placed in contact with hot surfaces with asymmetric (ratchet-like) topology. The pumping effect is observed when…
