    摘要: A preferred embodiment of the invention provides an ultra-soft atomic force microscope device that has a nanoneedle cantilever that terminates in a smaller diameter nanofiber tip. Deflection of the nanoneedle cantilever is measured directly by a laser Doppler vibrometer. The invention simultaneously provides a very low mass nanoneedle cantilever arm with a very small diameter nanofiber tip, while being able to image the vibration and displacement. An AFM device of the invention simultaneously provides a ultra low mass and soft cantilever, the ability to accurately and directly measure vibration and deflection of the very small diameter nanoneedle cantilever with the laser Doppler vibrometer, and a sharp nanofiber tip that provides sub nanometer resolution.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide method and apparatus of restoring probes attached to the manipulator in a control environment (e.g. vacuum chamber of an focus ion beam) without a need to open the vacuum chamber. Another embodiment of the present invention teaches construction and application of various shapes of nanoforks from a nanoneedles array inside a FIB vacuum chamber. In another embodiment, the present invention teaches edition and correction of completed and oxide-coated circuit boards by re-nano-wiring using nanoneedles of a nanoneedles array (as nanowire supply), contained in the same controlled space. In this embodiment, individual nanoneedles in a nanoneedle array are manipulated by a manipulator and placed in such a way to make electrical contact between the desired points.

    摘要: In one embodiment, the present invention provides the description of an inexpensive and disposable handheld device for detecting Circulating tumor cells (CTC) in blood called a handheld CTC detector (HCTCD). The HCTCD is capable of detecting less than 1 CTC per milliliter. The HCTCD consists of a dense array of high aspect ratio freestanding metallic nanoneedles, functionalized with antibodies that integrated within a microfluidic device and selectively capture and count (using electrical signal detection) the CTCs. By selecting a right functionalization protocol for the nanoneedles array, the HCTCD can be used for selective capturing a variety of rare cells that are mixed in human fluids.

    摘要: Embodiments of present invention provide apparatus that can measure very low dose of a specific specimen (such as biomarkers, protein) in a liquid or gas media. The apparatus is made of a microfluidic channel in combination by a tuning fork. The tuning fork is located outside the micro channel, but there are fibers that are attached to the end of one of the fork prongs and The liquid or gas channel is to bring a small quantity of the liquid or gas of interest in contact with micro fibers that are connected from one side to the tuning fork and are located inside the channel from the other side. The fibers are coated with specific coating and are receptors for the molecule of interest.
