The 3D assembly of micro-/nano-building blocks with multi-nanomanipulator coordinated manipulation is one of the central elements of nanomanipulation. A novel rail-guided nanomanipulation system was proposed for the assembly of a cellular vascular-like hydrogel microchannel. The system was equipped with three nanomanipulators and was restricted on the rail in order to realize the arbitrary chan...

Thermal transport characteristics of Casson nanofluid through a porous microtube is analyzed under the effect streaming potential and constant pressure gradient with electrokinetic associated applied magnetic field. An analytical solution velocity temperature distribution Casson-nano fluid related to combining effects electromagnetohydrodynamics forces have been obtained. The significant influe...

The fabrication of tubular rolled-up optofluidic ring resonators (RU-OFRRs) based on glass (SiO(2)) material with high quality factors is reported. A novel methodology combining lab-on-a-chip fabrication methods and rolled-up nanotech is presented for the fabrication of fully integrated tubular optofluidic sensors. The microfluidic integration of several RU-OFRRs on one chip is solved by enclos...

Luminescence-based waveguide is widely investigated as a promising alternative to conquer the difficulties of efficiently coupling light into a waveguide. But applications have been still limited due to employing blue or ultraviolet light as excitation source with the lower penetration depth leading to a weak guided light. Here, we show a quasi-one-dimensional propagation of luminescence and th...

This study analyses compressible gas flows through microchannels or microtubes, and develops two complete sets of asymptotic solutions. It is a natural extension of the previous work by Arkilic et al. on compressible flows through microchannels. First, by comparing the magnitudes of different forces in the compressible gas flow, we obtain proper estimations for the Reynolds and Mach numbers at ...

Hollow micro/nano structures form an important family of functional materials. We have used the thermal oxidation process combined with the passage of electric current during a structural phase transition to disclose a colossal mass diffusion transfer of Ti ions. This combination points to a new route for fabrication of hollow materials. A structural phase transition at high temperature prepare...

Since the discovery that the concentration of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is a strong predictor of survival rate in metastatic breast cancer (1 ), there has been great enthusiasm for the potential of these cells as a marker for cancer progression. The technical challenge is to isolate these rare cells (1–100 cells/mL) from whole blood with sufficient sensitivity and specificity, while mainta...
