“…We summarize some of the representative works with respect to CNTs-based nano-mass sensor adopting FEM [ 126 , 127 , 128 , 129 , 130 , 131 , 132 ], Euler–Bernoulli beam theory (EBT) [ 127 , 129 , 131 , 135 , 138 , 140 ], nonlocal EBT [ 133 , 134 , 136 , 139 , 142 , 143 , 144 ], Timoshenko beam theory (TBT) [ 141 ], nonlocal TBT [ 137 ] for studying CNTs-based nano-mass sensors as shown in Table 1 , from which we can see that though the work considering thermal and nonlocal effects could make sensitivity to atom mass of 6.65 × 10 −24 g and 0.218 × 10 −24 g under special thermal conditions [ 143 , 144 ], most of the works indicated that the CNTs-based nano-mass sensor could detect tiny mass larger than 10 −21 g. Moreover, detail of CNTs-based nano-mass sensor can be also found in some previous review works [ 18 , 145 ].…”
