A scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides real-time imaging with nanometer
resolution and a large scanning area, which enables the development and integration of …

The design and control of a novel piezoelectric actuated compliant microgripper is studied in
this paper to achieve fast, precise, and robust micro gras** operations. First, the …

This paper presents a review of the major haptic feedback teleoperation systems for
micromanipulation. During the last decade, the handling of micrometer-sized objects has …

Micromanipulation systems have recently been receiving increased attention. Teleoperated
or automated micromanipulation is a challenging task due to the need for high-frequency …

Due to force scaling laws, large adhesion forces at the microscale make rapid accurate
release of microobjects a long-standing challenge in pick-place micromanipulation. This …

Micro/nano manipulation for both mechanical and biological structures is currently a popular
research field. To protect small-scale structures and acquire their mechanical properties, a …

The tools of nanodiagnostics, nanotherapy, and nanorobotics are expected to revolutionize
the future of medicine, leading to presymptomatic diagnosis of disease, highly effective …

The development of manufacturing tools and processes capable of precisely positioning and
manipulating nanoscale components and materials is still in its embryonic stage …

Field emission (FE) phenomena are generally explained in the frame-work of Fowler
