About

Shibabrata Basak is a pioneering researcher in nanorobotics and nanofluidics, best known for his groundbreaking work on the "Nano-Workbench," a system that integrates hollow atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilevers with robotic manipulators to handle femtolitre volumes of liquid at the nanometer scale. His major contribution lies in enabling precise manipulation of liquid matter, a critical advancement for applications in nanoscale chemistry, biology, and materials science. The Nano-Workbench, described in his 2015 paper, features four independent, sugar-cube-sized robots, each with four degrees of freedom, allowing unprecedented control over tiny fluid volumes. This work has garnered 8 citations, reflecting its foundational role in the field. Basak’s innovations bridge robotics and nanotechnology, offering tools for single-cell analysis and targeted drug delivery. His research continues to inspire new approaches to nanoscale liquid handling, positioning him as a key figure in the development of next-generation lab-on-a-chip systems.
