Fabrication of High-Aspect-Ratio 3D Hydrogel Microstructures Using Optically Induced Electrokinetics
We present a rapid hydrogel polymerization and prototyping microfabrication technique using an optically induced electrokinetics (OEK) chip, which is based on a non-UV hydrogel curing principle. Using this technique, micro-scale high-aspect-ratio three-dimensional polymer features with different geometric sizes can be fabricated within 1–10 min by projecting pre-defined visible light image patt...
متن کاملGold Nanoparticle Super Assembly by Dielectrophoresis
Dielectrophoretic assembly of nanoparticles has great utility in creating intricate designer nanoscale structures. Dielectrophoresis of gold nanoparticles has been used to create nanowires for electronics, high surface area electrodes for sensors, and nanoelectrode nanogaps for molecular electronics. Despite the utility of this technique, little is known about the mechanisms governing different...
متن کاملRapid Fabrication of Hydrogel Microstructures Using UV-Induced Projection Printing
Fabrication of hydrogel microstructures has attracted considerable attention. A large number of applications, such as fabricating tissue engineering scaffolds, delivering drugs to diseased tissue, and constructing extracellular matrix for studying cell behaviors, have been introduced. In this article, an ultraviolet (UV)-curing method based on a digital micromirror device (DMD) for fabricating ...
متن کاملLaser-induced breakdown of an optically trapped gold nanoparticle for single cell transfection.
The cell selective introduction of therapeutic agents remains a challenging problem. Here we demonstrate spatially controlled cavitation instigated by laser-induced breakdown of an optically trapped single gold nanoparticle of diameter 100 nm. The energy breakdown threshold of the gold nanoparticle with a single nanosecond laser pulse at 532 nm is three orders of magnitude lower than water, whi...
متن کاملOptically trapped gold nanoparticle enables listening at the microscale.
We explore a new application of optical tweezers for ultrasensitive detection of sound waves in liquid media. Position tracking of a single gold nanoparticle confined in a three-dimensional optical trap is used to readout acoustic vibrations at a sound power level down to -60 dB, causing a ∼90 μeV increase in kinetic energy of the nanoparticle. The unprecedented sensitivity of such a nanoear ...
