| Abstract | Recently, nanomechanical resonators have played a vital role in detecting unprecedented physical phenomena. Also, nanomechanical resonators exhibit ultrahigh sensitivity for detecting molecular mass, quantum mechanical behavior and nonlinear dynamics. In this article, the current achievements of nanomechanical resonators for various sensing applications are reviewed. The fundamental principle of the dynamic behavior of nanomechanical resonators and its implications for design of nanomechanical resonators for biosensor applications are also discussed. |
