AI Article Synopsis
- Functional compound micromachines are made using advanced techniques like 3D laser writing and selective deposition of magnetic materials.
- These machines feature wirelessly controlled Archimedes screw pumps for moving fluids and small particles.
- The study shows how to control the collection, transport, and delivery of micro particles, including tiny magnetic structures, within fluid channels.
Article Abstract
Functional compound micromachines are fabricated by a design methodology using 3D direct laser writing and selective physical vapor deposition of magnetic materials. Microtransporters with a wirelessly controlled Archimedes screw pumping mechanism are engineered. Spatiotemporally controlled collection, transport, and delivery of micro particles, as well as magnetic nanohelices inside microfluidic channels are demonstrated.
