Where this comes from

Abstract

The well-known dependence of Q on liquid damping effect has been significantly reduced through an acoustic energy loss isolation layer and a sensing diaphragm supported by microposts, which reduce the direct contact area at the interface between the resonator and surrounding liquid.
