Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable a device for trapping nanoparticles. More specifically, the device comprises a dielectric layer, an electrically insulating lid, a plurality of trapping electrodes, and electrical circuit connectors. The dielectric layer has an exposed surface, which is structured to form a set of recesses in the dielectric layer. The recesses are dimensioned so as to allow nanoparticles (e.g. biomolecules) to be trapped. The electrically insulating lid extends above the exposed surface of the dielectric layer. A flow path is defined between the lid and the exposed surface, such that a liquid can be introduced in the flow path. The trapping electrodes are arranged opposite the lid with respect to the exposed surface to face respective ones of the recesses. This arrangement defines pairs, such that each pair associates one of the trapping electrodes with a respective one of the recesses.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a filled cavity between a first surface and a second surface. The steps of the method include: providing a first surface and a second surface; applying on the first surface and/or the second surface a filling material that has a carrier fluid and necking particles; providing spacer elements for defining a width of a cavity between the first and second surfaces; bringing the first and second surfaces together to deform the filling material such that at least one spacer element is held between the first and second surfaces; and removing the carrier fluid such that necking particles attach in a contact region of at least one spacer element with the first surface or the second surface to form necks.

Abstract: The invention is notably directed to an oscillating reaction device. The device basically includes a structured layer of a matrix material and structural elements. Cavities are defined (for example, as blind holes) in the structured layer to allow the cavities to be filled with an oscillating reaction liquid containing nonpolar molecules of a given molecular species, with a view to triggering an oscillating reaction. Centers of the cavities are arranged according to a 2D lattice, whereby pairs of nearest-neighbor cavities of said cavities are, each, separated by a portion of the matrix material. This portion of material is selectively permeable to said nonpolar molecules. This, in operation, yields an inhibitory chemical coupling of the filled cavities of said pairs of nearest-neighbor cavities, where the inhibitory chemical coupling is mediated by said nonpolar molecules. Also, the structural elements connect the cavities to yield a positive chemical coupling of the filled cavities.
