Magnetically control of nano-structures for intracellular nano-robots

Abstract

In this report, localized mechanical stimulation method was proposed to investigate a single organelle functions. Intracellular nano-machine for a organelle and a cell function control were designed to stimulate a single organelle on mathematical model. The nano-structures for fundamental research were fabricated. It was measured that the width as 30 μm, the length as 150 μm, the height as 500 nm, and controlled by magnetic-field generated with three pairs of coils. The coils put facing each other on the inverted microscope and generated a uniform magnetic field between them. Finally, we succeeded in control its direction of movement by switching magnetic field.
