Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is capable of nanoscale imaging but has so far only been used on cell surfaces when applied to a living cell. Here, we describe a step-by-step protocol for nanoendoscopy-AFM, which enables the imaging of nanoscale structures i ...
Molecular machines offer many opportunities for the development of responsive materials and introduce autono-mous motion in molecular systems. While basic molecular switches and motors carry out one type of motion upon being exposed to an external stimulus ...
Being able to understand how optical forces emerge from the interaction of light with matter is paramount for controlling the motion of nanoparticles as well as powering nanomotors. The purpose of this work is to uncover the physical mechanisms at the orig ...
Optical manipulation at the micro- nano-scale is a fascinating topic due to its inherent non-invasive properties and multifaceted applications in various fields such as biology, sensing, micro-fluidics, and micro- nano-robotics. This thesis involves intens ...
The design of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers has raised much attention to achieve higher local concentration of therapeutics and mitigate the appearance of drug resistance. The combination of imaging properties and controlled photorelease of active molecu ...
Self-assembled monolayer field-effect transistors (SAMFETs) of BTBT functionalized phosphonic acids are fabricated. The molecular design enables device operation with charge carrier mobilities up to 10-2 cm 2 V-1 s-1 and for the first time SAMFETs which op ...
Nanopore sensing is a single-molecule technique that allows to probe the nano-bio-world with accuracy. It is a non-invasive technique, which means that the molecule of interest does not need to be labeled to be detected by the nanopore. Most of the studies ...
