Soft micromachines with programmable motility and morphology
Nature provides a wide range of inspiration for building mobile micromachines that can navigate through confined heterogenous environments and perform minimally invasive environmental and biomedical operations. For example, microstructures fabricated in the form of bacterial or eukaryotic flagella can act as artificial microswimmers. Due to limitations in their design and material properties, t...
متن کاملActive micromachines: Microfluidics powered by mesoscale turbulence
Dense active matter, from bacterial suspensions and microtubule bundles driven by motor proteins to cellular monolayers and synthetic Janus particles, is characterized by mesoscale turbulence, which is the emergence of chaotic flow structures. By immersing an ordered array of symmetric rotors in an active fluid, we introduce a microfluidic system that exploits spontaneous symmetry breaking in m...
متن کاملOptically driven micromachines: progress and prospects
The ability to exert optical torques to rotationally manipulate microparticles has developed from an interesting curiosity to seeing deployment in practical applications. Is the next step to genuine optically-driven micromachines feasible or possible? We review the progress made towards this goal, and future prospects.
متن کاملEye Vision Testing System and Eyewear Using Micromachines
Proposed is a novel eye vision testing system based on micromachines that uses micro-optic, micromechanic, and microelectronic technologies. The micromachines include a programmable micro-optic lens and aperture control devices, pico-projectors, Radio Frequency (RF), optical wireless communication and control links, and energy harvesting and storage devices with remote wireless energy transfer ...
متن کاملMEMS Technology -- Micromachines Enabling the “All Optical Network"
* Formerly with Lucent Technologies/Agere Systems (Breinigsville, PA) Abstract Research on micromachines or MEMS technology has been ongoing for more than a decade. Early work focused on biomedical, printing and airbag applications. Only recently has this technology been applied to telecommunications networks. This new micro-optics technology, known as Optical MEMS, is enabling a new generation...
