A micro-scale gripper uses a liquid-permeable surface to handle fragile components like chips and thin films without applying mechanical force or contact. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Micromanipulation may ...
(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, used liquid crystal elastomer technology to demonstrate a series of micro-tools grown on optical fibers. The 200-micrometer ...
In two recent peer-reviewed journal articles, the team reported successful animal testing of the tiny tools, which require no batteries, wires, or tethers as they collect internal tissue samples. The ...
