A precise measurement of absolute beam intensity is essential for many areas of science. It is a key parameter to monitor any losses in a beam and to calibrate the absolute number of particles ...

This study introduces a newly optimized triangular-finger electrostatic comb-drive actuator designed to significantly enhance force intensity and travel range within a compact footprint.

Self-accelerating beams—shape-preserving bending beams—are attracting great interest, offering applications in many areas such as particle micromanipulation, microscopy, induction of plasma channels, ...
