“…Although biomimicry in nanotechnology is a relatively new research direction, there are many excellent articles that go into great depth to review the progress in the individual application domains of nanotechnology. Most recently, M Simovic-Pavlovic et al have discussed the advancements of MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) and NEMS (nanoelectromechanical systems), along with the trends in designing new nano-devices for advanced materials and sensing applications 5 . The clavatehair-based sensory system of crickets has inspired the one-axis biomimetic MEMS accelerometer 6 and the lateral-line sensors of fish have inspired hydrodynamic flow sensor MEMS arrays, are two of the most recent examples 7 .…”

Diatom frustules, the intricately structured algal silica exoskeletons, have remarkable mechanical properties and so are ideal candidates for various engineering applications. This study presents a comprehensive investigation of the eigenmode resonance frequencies of diatom frustules through the combination of in silico and experimental characterization. The predictions for the diatom resonance frequencies in the range of 1–8 MHz, which were made by COMSOL Multiphysics, were experimentally validated using the optical detection system of the atomic force microscope. Precise measurement of the resonance frequencies of thin miniature shells, such as diatom frustules, is pivotal in enabling their use for vibration-based sensing and optimal design of diatom-inspired micro-electro-mechanical system devices, which can facilitate effective energy absorption, vibration damping, and highly sensitive detection.

The use of nanoelectromechanical systems or nanorobots offers a new concept for sensing and controlling subcellular structures, such as ion channels. We present here a novel method for mathematical modeling of ion channels based on control system theory and system identification. We investigated the use of nanoelectromechanical devices to control the activity of ion channels, particularly the activity of the voltage-gated ion channel Kv10.1, an important channel in cancer development and progression. A mathematical model of the dynamic behavior of the selected ion channel Kv10.1 in the Laplace (s) domain was developed, which is given in the representation of a transfer function. In addition, we addressed the possibilities of controlling ion channel activity by nanoelectromechanical devices and nanorobots and finally presented a control algorithm for the Kv10.1 as a control object. A use case demonstrates the potential of a Kv10.1 controlled nanorobot for cancer treatment at a single-cell level.
