Maybe I make some mistakes or a  bug in the website .

whenpress "post comment "buttom ,My comments were lost many time ,

And there only leave "I am a student of USTC.I am research in Biosensor base Microcantilver ." And these word I have deleted  a few hours ago .

I am so tired ,because this is my first time to post comment and I have not finished it several times .

Thank Prof Suo ,who invited my join it ,the iMechanica was best scientific community that I have seen .

""STUDY GROUP""

Submitted by Mahdi Kazemzadeh on

This is a great news for all students here in iMechanica! The formation of a study group which will focus on the basic concepts and the facts of daily research, the simple tools that any of us will need at a certain stage. Please see blow the formation of this idea and add your comment, it would be good to know other points of view as we can improve the initial idea step by step.

lack of sensitivity

Submitted by adelajda on

Hi everybody.  My name is Ada. I am a new user on this forum.

I am working with microcantilevers (MCs). Recently I experienced lack of sensitivity. I use  MCs coated with nanostructured gold and I use SAM to attach different biological molecules e.g. Protein A, IgG, antiIgG. Everything was working fine until recently.

Would enybody have any sugestions what might be wrong?

Thanks,

Ada

Professor Ed Berger, Univeristy of Virginia Mechanical Engineering, is featured in the Chronicle of Higher Education for his use of web technologies and, in particular, "video solutions" for teaching undergraduate mechanics courses.

Perhaps we should make a useful exercise for iMechanicians

Zhigang, about defining "esthablished", I am worried people may consider arbitrary your "definition" -- not me, you can do as you like!

But look that even somebody as weak as me could be in the list you propose!!, and for different criteria! Only Nix and Hutchinson really stand high in the lists as "esthablished". Incidentally, congratulations: the most cited paper of Hutchinson is that with you.
