AbstractSensors with high resolution and detection capabilities have the potential to transform applications in many facets of Americans' lives, including enabling new cancer screenings, earthquake early warnings, and expanding the lifetime of next-generation aircraft. Advances in these areas can be enabled by nonlinear dynamic behavior—sharp state transitions, threshold sensitivity, and multi-stable response that exceed what linear designs can achieve. While decades of research have produced deep under
