A rapidly expanding area of research in materials science involves the development of
routes to complex 3D structures with feature sizes in the mesoscopic range (that is, between …

In recent years, there has been explosive growth in the number of investigations devoted to
the development and study of biomimetic micro-and nanorobots. The present review is …

The possibility is shown to fabricate a wide class of free-standing nano-objects based on few
monolayers thick scrolled heterostructures. Using an ultra-thin film (1 ML GaAs: 1 ML InAs) …

In this article we continue our investigations of one particle quantum scattering theory for
Schrödinger operators on a set of connected (idealized one-dimensional) wires forming a …

This feature article reviews some concepts for forming single-crystalline semiconductor
nanoribbons in 'stretchable'geometrical configurations with emphasis on the materials and …

Channels of mesoscopic dimensions (tubes or pores) find numerous advanced applications
in biotechnology,[1] cell analysis,[2] drug delivery,[3] microfluidic devices,(bio) chemical …

We introduce a method to make self-positioned micromachined structures by using the strain
in a pair of lattice-mismatched epitaxial layers. This method allows the fabrication of simple …

This review outlines a new fabrication concept for three-dimensional (3D) nanoshells that
can be obtained, in a self-formed manner, from several-monolayer (ML) thick semiconductor …

In this communication, we demonstrate the concept of single-use, chemically triggered,
reversible tools in the form of mobile grippers that can be used to manipulate micro-objects …

Recent work on the fabrication of tubular microstructures via self‐rolling of thin, bilayer
polymer films is reviewed. A bending moment in the films arises due to the swelling of one …
