Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

Today discovery of new materials is hampered by the lack of instruments enabling scientists to measure the mechanical response to multiaxial and high-frequency excitation at the nano-scale. To address this market demand, we propose a solution based on a 3 degrees-of-freedom piezo transducer, increasing by 4 orders of magnitude the velocity possible with commercial products.
