Researchers have developed a new technique for extremely high speed photonic sensing of the mechanical properties of freely flowing particles using an opto-mechano-fluidic resonator (OMFR). This research potentially opens up completely new mechanical 'axes of measurement' on micro/nanoparticles and bioparticles.
