A non-uniform AC electric field induces a motion in polarizable particles, called dielectrophoresis. The force responsible for this motion is governed by the dielectric properties both of the suspending medium and of the particles, as well as the geometry of the field. The dielectrophoretic properties of sub-micrometre latex spheres have been studied using micro-fabricated electrode structures....

Micro Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) have been proved to be outstanding tools for micromachines. The current article is intended to produce an assessment of MEMS used in a wide scale in various spheres, nearly 30 years after their initial development.Conventional sensors are now aptly supported by advanced technologies. Micro Electromechanical Sensors form a class of sensors which are sensiti...

The oocytes of saturniid moths take up proteins selectively from the blood. The distribution of blood proteins in the ovary during protein uptake was investigated by staining 2 micro sections of freeze-dried ovaries with fluorescein-labeled antibodies. The results indicate that blood proteins occur primarily in the intercellular spaces of the follicle cell layer, in association with a brush bor...

This work serves as a roadmap for the development of Vanadium dioxide (VO2)–Iridium composite based on self-assembly closely packed colloidal polystyrene microspheres (P-spheres) coupled with Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) process. The monolayer PS is performed an Al2O3-c substrate, using adapted Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) Then, substrate covered P-spheres, 50-nanometer Iridium layer deposited by PL...
