Pull-in instability occurs in a micro-electromechanical system, and it greatly hinders its normal operation. A fractal modification is suggested to make the system stable in all operation period. A fractal model is established using a fractal derivative, and the results show that by suitable fabrication of the micro-electromechanical system device, the pull-in instability can be converted into a novel state of pull-in stability.

Piezoresistive actuation of a microcantilever induced by biomolecular binding such as DNA hybridization and antibody-antigen binding is an important principle useful in biosensing applications. As the magnitude of the forces exerted is small, increasing the sensitivity of the microcantilever becomes critical. In this paper, we are considering to achieve this by geometric variation in the cantilever. The sensitivity of the cantilever was improved so that the device can sense the presence of antigen even if the magnitude of surface-stresses over the microcantilever was very small. We consider a “T-shaped” cantilever that eliminates the disadvantages while improving the sensitivity simultaneously. Simulations for validation have been performed using INTELLISUITE software (a micro-electromechanical system design and simulation package). The simulations reveal that the T-shaped microcantilever is almost as sensitive as a thin cantilever and has relatively very low buckling effect. Simulations also reveal that with an increase in thickness of the cantilever, there is a proportional decrease in the sensitivity.

A novel method based on remotely controlled magnetic forces of bio-functionalized superparamagnetic colloids using micromagnet arrays was devised to measure frictional force at the sub-picoNewton (pN) scale for bio-nano-/micro-electromechanical system (bio-NEMS/MEMS) interfaces in liquid.
