AbstractSingularities ubiquitously exist in different fields and play a pivotal role in probing the fundamental laws of physics and developing highly sensitive sensors. Nevertheless, achieving higher-order (≥3) singularities, which exhibit superior performance, typically necessitates meticulous tuning of multiple (≥3) coupled degrees of freedom or additional introduction of nonlinear potential energies. Here we propose theoretically and confirm using mechanics experiments, the existence of an unexplored cusp singularity in the phase-tracked (PhT) steady states of a pair of coherently coupled mechanical modes without the need for multiple (≥3) coupled modes or nonlinear potential energies. By manipulating the PhT singularities in an electrostatically tunable micromechanical system, we demonstrate an enhanced cubic-root response to frequency perturbations. This study introduces a new phase-tracking method for studying interacting systems and sheds new light on building and engineering advanced singular devices with simple and well-controllable elements, with potential applications in precision metrology, portable nonreciprocal devices, and on-chip mechanical computing.
