Combining robotics with nanotechnology, this ready reference summarizes the fundamentals and emerging applications in this fascinating research field. This is the first book to introduce tools specifically designed and made for manipulating micro– and nanometer–sized objects, and presents such examples as semiconductor packaging and clinical diagnostics as well as surgery. The first part discusses various topics of on–chip and device–based micro– and nanomanipulation, including the use of acoustic, magnetic, optical or dielectrophoretic fields, while surface–driven and high–speed microfluidic manipulation for biophysical applications are also covered. In the second part of the book, the main focus is on microrobotic tools. Alongside magnetic micromanipulators, bacteria and untethered, chapters also discuss silicon nano– and integrated optical tweezers. The book closes with a number of chapters on nanomanipulation using AFM and nanocoils under optical and electron microscopes. Exciting images from the tiniest robotic systems at the nano–level are used to illustrate the examples throughout the work. A must–have book for readers with a background ranging from engineering to nanotechnology. INDICE: PART I: On–Chip and Device–Based Micro–Nanomanipulation. .
