1. A sensor system comprising:

  • a first cantilever comprising a first end;

    a first excitation source that applies to said first cantilever a first set of energies at a first set of frequencies;

    a second cantilever comprising a second end, wherein said second end is adjacent to said first end;

    a second excitation source, independent of said first excitation source, that applies a second set of energies at a second set of frequencies, wherein said first set of energies and said second set of energies are simultaneously applied to said first cantilever and said second cantilever, respectively, and form a multi-mode coupling; and

    a detector that detects an effect of said multi-mode coupling.
