Outline of Final Research Achievements

For the purpose of generation of optically-controlled micro-nano robot, function control such as transportation, cell attachment by zeta potential control on the robot surface, temperature control of the robot by surface plasmon effect, local environment measurement using fluorescence, by irradiation with light of different wavelengths was fabricated and evaluated. We confirmed the functions such as transportation by 1064 nm near-infrared laser, zeta potential control by ultraviolet light at 366 nm, temperature control by near infrared light at 808 nm, fluorescence environment measurement used for wavelength in visible light. In the future, we will conduct research on rapid and low-invasive injection of the micro-nano robot, intracellular local stimulation, and intracellular measurement using micro-nano robot.
