Micro and Nano Systems for Biophysical Studies of Cells and Small Organisms

Micro and Nano Systems for Biophysical Studies of Cells and Small Organisms, authored by Xinyu Liu, offers a comprehensive introduction to the state-of-the-art micro and nano systems that have been developed and applied to biophysical studies of cells and small organisms. These micro and nano systems include microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and microfluidic devices to robotic micro-nanomanipulation systems. The book covers a wide range of biophysical studies, from cell mechanics to the neural science of worms and Drosophila.

This book provides readers with a deep understanding of the fundamentals surrounding the development of these tools and the most recent advances in cellular and organismal biophysics enabled by these technologies. It is an essential read for researchers, scientists, and students interested in the field of biophysics and nanotechnology.
