Introduction The electrical properties of materials are important in many different applications. In microelectronics for example, films must perform as insulators, semiconductor or as conducting layers. In recent years, scanning probe methods are being extended to the nanometre scale ... 詳細を見る

Insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) employs arrays of electrically insulator posts in a microfluidic device to create dielectrophoretic forces that affect particle movement (Figure 1). The trapping performance of iDEP devices involves a careful balance between electrokinetics (EK) ... 詳細を見る

Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is an electric field driven technique that has important applications in the enrichment, concentration and isolation of biological and non-biological particles. The assessment of particle trapping capacity using DEP, however, has been qualitative in nature; since ... 詳細を見る

Electric field can bring liquid in motion and thus influence heat transfer. Electro-convection (EC) can be caused by electric forces acting on a liquid, even in absence of space charge. Here, we studied heat transfer in a metal vessel filled by oil, with a submersed high voltage ... 詳細を見る

We have used COMSOL Multiphysics® software to design a micropipette for single -cell gene expression profiling. The micropipette design allows us to insert it into a single-cell to extract genes through dielectrophoresis. As dielectriphoretic force depends on the applied electric field ... 詳細を見る

Electrospray propulsion is a contemporary type of thruster technology that electrostatically drives particles through an extractor grid without the need of a pump. The basis of this propulsion system is the coalescence of propellant into a Taylor cone and through a charged extraction ... 詳細を見る

Electroporation is a biotechnological technique which subjects cells to strong (~kV/cm), short (~ms) electric field pulses that open pores on the cells’ plasma membranes. Under the appropriate conditions, the pores mediate the passage of exogenous material into cells. If the pores ... 詳細を見る

Microwave impedance microscopy (MIM) is a novel mode of atomic force microscopy that can measure topography and local electrical impedance simultaneously and with nanometer spatial resolution [1]. This technique is typically used qualitatively, identifying defects in nanodevices or ... 詳細を見る

Introduction: Vibration energy harvester can convert mechanical vibration energy into electrical energy and store it in battery for later use. It can create clean renewable energy from vibration movements such as walking, jumping, running, etc. This can convert energy previously wasted ... 詳細を見る

Mice are important animals used for biomedical research, and are widely used to study various disease models. When studying the behavior of mice and gathering biological data from them, miniature sensors and telemetry devices are needed. These devices must provide continuous monitoring ... 詳細を見る
