We have a specific and unique expertise in the field of ultrasensitive detection of weak forces, by means of micromechanical devices cooled to ultralow temperature. We have pioneered a magnetomecanical detection method in which the motion of a microferromagnetic particle is detected by a ultralow noise SQUID. With this method we can measure the very tiny microcantilevers with high quality factor (Q>1E6) down to ultralow temperature (T<50 mK). Initially developed in the context of nanoMRI imaging techniques, this detection method allows to achieve extreme force sensitivity, enabling interesting applications in the context of fundamental physics.
