Micro- and nanomechanical resonators play a crucial role in sensing applications. Here, the authors demonstrate electrically tunable modal coupling in capacitive microelectromechanical gyroscopic ring resonators that allows for improving the performance micro/nano-sensors relying on precise control of the degree of modal coupling.
