Intercalated water layers promote thermal dissipation at bio–nano interfaces
The increasing interest in developing nanodevices for biophysical and biomedical applications results in concerns about thermal management at interfaces between tissues and electronic devices. However, there is neither sufficient knowledge nor suitable tools for the characterization of thermal properties at interfaces between materials of contrasting mechanics, which are essential for design wi...
متن کاملBio-Inspired Actuation and Sensing
The superb ability of animals to negotiate rough terrain has caused engineers to focus on mechanical properties of muscle and other unique features in order to design improved robots for exploration. This paper reviews recent work in artificial muscle actuators, as well as a new sensor based on a robotic model of the muscle spindle cell. The actuator contains a pneumatic force generator in para...
متن کاملSensing and Actuation for Micro Bio Robots
Scaling down the size of robots enables new ways of exploring and manipulating microscale environments. Specifically in the field of biology, microrobots can be a tool for single cell analysis; such as for manipulating cells [1], measuring cell interactions [2] and cell surgery [3]. To create microrobots, we need to miniturize actuation and sensing capability to the cell scale. Bacteria have be...
متن کاملfMRI-Compatible Robotic Interfaces with Fluidic Actuation
Resonance Imaging (fMRI) procedures, due to the high magnetic fields and limited space in the scanner. Fluidic actuators can be made fMRI-compatible and are, thus, promising solutions. In this work we developed two robotic interface devices, one with hydraulic and another with pneumatic actuation, to control one degree-of-freedom translational movements of a user that performs fMRI tasks. Due t...
متن کاملCell-directed assembly of bio/nano interfaces-a new scheme for cell immobilization.
When lipid-directed assembly of silicic acid precursors is conducted in the presence of living cells, the cells intervene, surrounding themselves with a fluid, multilayered lipid vesicle that interfaces coherently with an ordered silica mesophase. This bio/nano interface is unique in that its uniform nanostructure prevents excessive drying of water, maintaining cell viability, yet provides acce...
