Nanomechanical resonators are vital to precision sensing and emerging quantum technologies, but their extraordinary sensitivity comes with an unexpected vulnerability. A nanomechanical device can lose much of its ability to sustain vibrations without ever touching another object. Researchers at EPFL have discovered that placing insulating materials just a few hundred nanometers from these tiny structures [...]
