  • Abstract
    In this paper we proposed a method by which nanoparticles can be selectively injected based on mechanical vibrations, thermal heating, and electromagnetic waves. We have developed a nanoparticle manipulator using a MEMS based structure. We also demonstrated direct physical control of the interaction between yeast cells and nanoparticles in liquid for the first time. In this research, our aim is to develop human clinical devices designed to obtain personal data in order to select the suitable types of nanoparticles for tailor-made medical treatments. These results can have a potential impact in medical fields such as physical antibiotics and cell treatments
