Outline of Final Research Achievements

The finest manipulation resolution up to 250 nanometer is achieved with a macro-scale actuator in this research project. While the gigantic ratio difference between a macro-scale and a micro-scale fluidic system, a transmission system using PDMS deformation has been developed to make micro manipulation possible on a macro actuator. The research result directly benefits the cost and convenience of micro manipulation, and further, is currently applied on biomedical researches.
