Magnetic Levitational Assembly for Living Material Fabrication.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Functional living materials with microscale compositional topographies are prevalent in nature. However, the creation of biomaterials composed of living micro building blocks, each programmed by composition, functionality, and shape, is still a challenge. A powerful yet simple approach to create living materials using a levitation-based magnetic method is presented.

Guided and magnetic self-assembly of tunable magnetoceptive gels
Self-assembly of components into complex functional patterns at microscale is common in nature, and used increasingly in numerous disciplines such as optoelectronics, microfabrication, sensors, tissue engineering and computation. Here, we describe the use of stable radicals to guide the self-assembly of magnetically tunable gels, which we call 'magnetoceptive' materials at the scale of hundreds...
متن کاملLevitational Image Cytometry with Temporal Resolution.
A simple, yet powerful magnetic-levitation-based device is reported for real-time, label-free separation, as well as high-resolution monitoring of cell populations based on their unique magnetic and density signatures. This method allows a wide variety of cellular processes to be studied, accompanied by transient or permanent changes in cells' fundamental characteristics as a biological material.
متن کاملDevelopment of Surface Micromachined Magnetic Actuators Using Electroplated Permalloy
Results on design, fabrication and testing of silicon micromachined magnetic actuators are presented. Magnetic actuators are capable of providing large force (on the order of mN) and large displacement (micrometer to millimeter range) within micro electromechanical devices and systems. Electroplated Permalloy (Ni80Fe20) material is the media for magnetic interaction and force generation. The Pe...
متن کاملDigital Materials for Digital Fabrication
Traditional fabrication techniques include pick-and-place, roll-to-roll, molding, patterning and more. Current research in fabrication includes algorithmic assembly [3] , programmed assembly[9], self-assembly[1,2] , assembly by folding [4] as well as guided self-assembly [2]. The above research studies the methods of assembly rather than the nature of the materials they are using for assembly. ...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional magnetic micro-module reconfigurations based on inter-modular interactions
We present a scheme of two-dimensional module reconfiguration based on interactions between microscale magnetic modules with potential applications in micro-robotics, particularly in automatic micro-fabrication, non-invasive diagnoses, micro-surgery, and drug delivery at unreachable sites. The approach taken is a mixture of a top-down engineering approach and a bottom-up self-assembly approach,...
