Micro/Nanoscale Acoustic Manipulation: From Particle Control to Autonomous Microswimmers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This conceptual framework illustrates acoustic technology as a multifunctional platform enabling passive particle manipulation across scales and autonomous propulsion of microswimmers. ABSTRACT Acoustic manipulation and propulsion technologies have emerged as powerful platforms for micro/nanoscale control, enabled by their non‐contact operation, label ...

Plasmonic microbubbles: nucleation, growth and collapse [PDF]

, 2020
Noble metal nanoparticles immersed in a liquid and irradiated by resonant light can rapidly heat up to high temperatures, due to their peculiar absorption ability, and transfer the heat to the surrounding liquid, leading to the formation of bubbles, which have broad application potential in many plasmonic-enhanced processes.

Deciphering Structure‐Bubble‐Mass Transfer Relationships in Water Electrolysis Through Electrode Morphology Regulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Electrode morphology is shown to govern oxygen‐bubble dynamics and interfacial mass transfer during water electrolysis. Positive‐curvature nanoneedles promote rapid release of small bubbles, sustain electrolyte renewal, and minimize mass‐transport losses, whereas flat and concave architectures increasingly retain bubbles.

Nano-microbubble flotation of fine and ultrafine chalcopyrite particles

International Journal of Mining Science and Technology, 2014
As is well known to mineral processing scientists and engineers, fine and ultrafine particles are difficult to float mainly due to the low bubble-particle collision efficiencies. Though many efforts have been made to improve flotation performance of fine

Enzymatic microbubble robots

Nature Nanotechnology
The development of micro- and nanorobots has amplified the demand for intelligent multifunctional machines in biomedical applications, but most microrobotic systems struggle to achieve the attributes needed for those applications. Here we introduce enzymatic microbubble robots that exhibit steerable motion, enhanced biodegradability, high in vivo ...

Sonochemically Produced Hemoglobin Microbubbles

, 1994
Using high-intensity ultrasound, we have developed a method for the synthesis of airfilled hemoglobin (Hb) microbubbles (≈2.5 μm in diameter). Transmission electron, scanning electron, and optical microscopy show spherical particles with a shell ...

Bubbles Acting as Micro End‐Effectors for Dexterous Manipulation and Sensing in Aqueous Environment

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Inspired by bubbles, this article proposes a low‐cost method for multifunctional manipulation and sensing using microbubbles in aqueous environments. Bubbles are easily generated in situ, enabling the safe and adaptive handling of microobjects and sensing of microforces and surface textures.

Spectral Imaging for Microbubble Characterization

Langmuir, 2019
Microbubbles stabilized by an outer lipid shell have been studied extensively for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The shell composition can significantly influence microbubble behavior, but performing quantitative measurements of shell properties is challenging.
