On page 478, N. Bassiri‐Gharb and co‐workers demonstrate acoustic detection in nanoscale volumes by use of an atomic force microscope tip technique. Elastic changes in volume are measured by detecting changes in resonance of the cantilever. The electric field in this case causes a phase transition, which is modeled by Landau theory.
