Placement of Biological Membrane Patches in a Nanofluidic Gap with Control over Position and Orientation
Francesca Ruggeri, Christian Schwemmer, Mirko Stauffer +7
Purple membranes from the archaeon Halobacterium salinarum consist of two-dimensional crystals of the light-driven proton pump bacteriorhodopsin, which convert photons into a proto…
Gate Electrodes Enable Tunable Nanofluidic Particle Traps
Philippe M. Nicollier, Aaron D. Ratschow, Francesca Ruggeri +4
The ability to control the location of nanoscale objects in liquids is essential for fundamental and applied research from nanofluidics to molecular biology. To overcome their rand…
Nanometer scale resolution, multi-channel separation of spherical particles in a rocking ratchet with increasing barrier heights
Philippe Nicollier, Christian Schwemmer, Francesca Ruggeri +3
We present a nanoparticle size-separation device based on a nanofluidic rocking Brownian motor. It features a ratchet-shaped electrostatic particle potential with increasing barrie…
