Numerous applications of nanotechnology have been developed to probe the unique mechanical properties of cells. In addition, since biological materials exhibit such a wide spectrum of properties, they offer new concepts for nonbiological biomimetic applications. In this chapter, the viscoelastic properties of a cell and its subcellular compartments are described. First, a qualitative picture is...
متن کاملMagnetically driven colloidal microstirrer.
Paramagnetic colloidal particles dispersed in water and deposited above magnetic bubble domains of a uniaxial ferrimagnetic garnet film are used as microscopic stirrer when subjected to external rotating magnetic fields. The hydrodynamic flow field above the stirrer is detected by tracking of nonmagnetic microspheres. The vorticity of the flow falls off inversely proportionally to the distance ...
متن کاملMagnetically driven single DNA nanomotor.
In biological systems, nanoscale molecular motors can generate forces from spontaneous reactions of energy-rich molecules, mostly adenosine triphosphate (ATP), to convert chemical energy into mechanical movement. These motors are roughly 10 nm in size, take steps of a few nanometers, and can exert forces in the piconewton range. [ 1 , 2 ] However, to effi ciently design and construct nanoscale ...
متن کاملRectilinear Dynamics of Magnetically Driven Microsystems
The dynamic behavior of magnetically driven microsystems is investigated in this study. An experimental setup designed to simulate the dynamic response of a micro-roller element moving in rectilinear path under influence of an external magnetic field is presented. Results of element response to step excitation field are discussed and an analytical model for the response based on a lumped capaci...
متن کاملRelativistic Acceleration of Magnetically Driven Jets
We present an analytical model for describing highly relativistic acceleration of magnetically driven jets, within the framework of ideal MHD for cold, stationary and axisymmetric outflows. Our novel procedure is to treat the wind equation as an algebraic relation between the relativistic Alfvén Mach-number and the poloidal electric to toroidal magnetic field amplitudes ratio ξ. This allows us ...
