Abstract
Through innovative management of light, heat and electric field in opto-thermoplasmonic fluidics, we have developed a micro/nanorobot platform for versatile manipulation of variable synthetic micro/nanoparticles and biological cells. Five manipulation modes have been achieved and can be switched on-demand. High-throughput self-navigation of micro/nanorobots has been realized with feedback control. The multimodal and nanoscale manipulation enables in situ single-cell characterizations to achieve high-resolution 3D cellular imaging and membrane protein profiling with simple and low-power optics. With the superior functionalities and user-friendliness, our micro/nanorobot technique will become a powerful tool in colloid science, life sciences, and nanotechnology.
