Chaos and Coarse Graining in Statistical Mechanics,by P. Castiglione,M. Falcioni,A. Lesne and A. Vulpiani

For 20 years, cantilevers have been used in different research fields as fast, accurate and label-free sensors in liquid, gas, air and vacuum. Due to their small size, they can be integrated into microfluidic systems and offer possibilities for various applications in lab-on-chip technology. Furthermore, multiple cantilevers, the so-called cantilever arrays, provide a direct internal reference during the measuring process and enable the parallel monitoring of several different analytes. This review provides a general introduction into the history and theory of cantilever sensors, with an emphasis on biological monitoring applications as opportunities for classical and quantum physics. Furthermore, it includes recent developments in novel transduction principles and applications, and discusses future prospects.
