A mini-review of microfluidic technologies for the generation and manipulation biomimetic nano-assemblies, including perspectives future research directions.

We succeeded in fabrication of a free accessible microchannel using an air-liquid interface. To pattern the air-liquid interface in the microfluidic chip, we utilized nano-geometric surface which encloses micropatterned massive nanopillars to enhance the wettability of the surface, which was fabricated by using the hybrid mask lithography technique. Novelties of this paper are shown as follows....

the effect of geometry and material of the micro/nano particle on contact mechanic for manipulation was studied in this work based on atomic force microscopy. hertz contact model simulation for eph biological micro particle with spherical, cylindrical, and circular crowned roller shape was used to investigate the effect of geometry on contact simulation process in manipulation. then, to validat...

Manipulation of Ag nanocrystals derived from up to 200 000 atoms was performed using the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope. By varying the scanning conditions, it was possible to move them laterally on contamination-free Si~111!-737 surfaces or to remove them. In both cases, thin Ag tracks were left behind. This demonstrates the concepts of nano patterning and nano painting with metals on ...

The author presents a new approach within advanced graphics simulations for the problem of nano-assembly automation and its application for medicine. The problem under study concentrates its main focus on nanorobot autonomous control for molecular assembly manipulation and the use of evolutionary competitive agents as a suitable way to warranty the robustness of any proposed model. The presente...

We demonstrate that semiconductor nanowires can be translated, rotated, cut, fused and organized into nontrivial structures using holographic optical traps. The holographic approach to nano-assembly allows for simultaneous independent manipulation of multiple nanowires, including relative translation and relative rotation.
