Nonmonotonic Energy Dissipation in Microfluidic Resonators

Nanomechanical resonators enable a range of precision measurements in air or vacuum, but strong viscous damping makes applications in liquid challenging. Recent experiments have shown that fluid damping is greatly reduced in fluidic embedded-channel microcantilevers. Here we report the discovery of...
