We investigate experimentally and theoretically diffusiophoretic separation of negatively charged particles in a rectangular channel flow, driven by CO2 dissolution from one side-wall. Since the negatively charged particles create an exclusion zone near th ...
A new and versatile fabrication process of insulated gold tip probes for atomic force microscopy (AFM) is presented by Wu et al. (In-plane fabricated insulated gold-tip probe for electrochemical and molecular experiments, in: 2013 IEEE 26th International C ...
Thermal motion of a room-temperature mechanical resonator typically dominates the quantum backaction of its position measurement. This is a longstanding barrier for exploring cavity optomechanics at room temperature. In order to enter the quantum regime of ...
Microstereolithography is a 3D microfabrication technology that is fundamentally different from the techniques commonly used in cleanroom environment for the manufacturing of MEMS components. Most microfabrication techniques evolved from the microelectroni ...
Nanopores are nanometer sized openings that are the connection between two electrolyte filled reservoirs. The measurement of the ion transport flowing through such a pore allows to probe physically or biologically interesting phenomena. These range from th ...
In plunging jets and at hydraulic jumps, large amounts of air bubbles are entrained at the impingement of the liquid jet and receiving body (BIN, 1993; ERVINE, 1998; CHANSON, 2009a). Air is entrapped and advected into a turbulent shear layer with strong in ...
This thesis deals with the development and study of microfluidic scintillation detectors, a technology of recent introduction for the detection of high energy particles. Most of the interest for such devices comes from the use of a liquid scintillator, whi ...
Experimental and numerical studies are performed to characterise the dynamics of isolated confined air bubbles in laminar fully developed liquid flows within channels of diameters d = 0.5 mm and d = 1 mm. Water and glycerol are used as the continuous liqui ...
This paper presents a novel in-liquid method to manipulate and micro-assemble MEMS in 3D by means of holographic optical trapping and hydrophobic interaction. Up to eight traps can be simultaneously generated with a trapping stiffness of 5 pN/mu m each. SU ...
Improvements in manufacturing processes inspired by the semiconductor integrated circuit industry have seen a sharp reduction in dimensions of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), leading to the emergence of its submicron counterpart – nanoelectromechani ...
