“…Our previous works demonstrated 2D non-contact micromanipulation based on the vortex trap generated by rotating helical microswimmers [12]. It was recently extended to 3D non-contact manipulation by further elaborating and optimizing the design of the helical microswimmers [23]. Here we experimentally measured the mass of the 6 different modes of such 3D helical microswimmers and integrated each of them to microfluidics by AFM Hydrodynamic manipulation of microparticle by vortical flow generated from rotating microhelix.…”

Manufacturing of microsystems based on complex three-dimensional microstructures requires critical steps such as mass calibrations and integration process. However, such steps involve several manipulation steps which are not well controlled thus the fragile 3D microstructures could be damaged or destroyed. In this work, we have demonstrated an AFM based direct mass measurement and manufacturing of 3D helical microswimmer. The proposed method shows to be rapid, repeatable and minimally-destructive thanks to the precise force control and manipulation by AFM. The proposed micromanipulation steps consist of the pick-measure-integrate manipulation steps using van der Waals force-based attachment and the mass measurement by resonant frequency shift. For the testing structures, we fabricated the 6 different types of 3D helical microswimmers vertically fabricated on the conical shape microneedle supports for uniform surface metallization and facile detachment. With the mass measurement sensitivity of 25 Hz/pg and the direct integration to microfluidics, we successfully demonstrated the 3D propulsion and non-contact micromanipulation by 3D helical microswimmer in microfluidics.

“…[63,90] Apart from that, microswimmer systems employing in addition noncontact manipulation strategies via the generation of hydrodynamic vortices were developed, offering more flexibility toward the requirements of the cargo.

Since the pioneering work of Kawata and colleagues in 1997, multi‐photon 3D laser printing, also known as direct laser writing, has made significant advancements in a wide range of fields. Moreover, the development and commercialization of photocurable inks for this technique have expanded rapidly. One of the current trends is the transition from static to active printable materials, often referred to as 4D microprinting, which enables a new degree of control in the printed systems. This review focuses on four primary application areas: microrobotics, optics and photonics, microfluidics, and life sciences, highlighting recent progress and the crucial role of active materials, including liquid crystalline elastomers, hydrogels, shape memory polymers, and composites, among others. It also addresses ongoing challenges and provides insights into the future prospects in the different fields.

“…[23] These organelles play a significant role in cell growth and development, so they cannot be injured. [24][25][26] There are some factors for cell viability (e.g., mechanical stress, transmembrane potential, joule heat, and shear force), [7,[27][28][29][30] which need to be taken care during manipulation. Second, cells are multilayer structures exhibiting different physical and chemical properties compared with particles.…”

Single‐cell manipulation technology is an essential method of cell research, with wide applications in biological engineering, medical engineering, agricultural engineering, and other precise manipulation fields. Cell pose adjustment and cell puncture are considered as two basic operations of single‐cell manipulation. Cell pose adjustment can be used for cell sorting, cell trapping, cell orientation, cell transportation, etc. It consists of direct contact manipulation methods and noncontact manipulation methods (e.g., mechanical contact method, electric field, optical field, magnetic field, acoustic field, and hydrodynamic methods). Cell puncture consists of ordinary glass needle puncture methods, piezoelectric‐assisted puncture methods, and rotational oscillatory drill puncture methods. It aims to achieve directional and quantified injection or sampling with minimal damage. Herein, the recent research progress on single‐cell pose adjustment and puncture methods is systematically summarized and discussed, which involves the basic mechanism, characteristics, limitations, and applications. Some potential directions for future research are proposed in accordance with the above analysis. It is hoped that this review can provide a reference for academic research and industrial applications of single‐cell manipulation technology.
