Shape memory effect nanotweezers
NANOTWEEZER - a miniature device for three-dimensional manipulation (capture, movement, retention and attachment to the right place) of micro- and nano-objects.
The nanotweezers
is mounted on commercial manipulators in the chamber of an electron or ion microscope and is triggered (closed) when heated by electric current
107
cycles withstands nanotweezers
7 000
Euro is the cost of a batch of nanotweezers (5 pieces)
