The structural concept of the cantilever beam has other practical applications in diverse fields; some of these include:
Electromechanics: transducers for atomic force microscopes capable of detecting forces of the order of Nanonewtons.
Medicine: diagnostic biosensors.
Analytical chemistry: the beams in micro-cantilevers are coated with receptors and act as sensors or vibrating elements that are compared to fixed parameters to obtain specific chemical information.
Logistics: fixed or portable storage systems, such as tool boxes.
Aviation: the wings of airplanes.
Tourism: panoramic tours, some as famous as the Grand Canyon Skywalk.
