We illustrate the use of catalytic nanowire motors for directional motion and microscale transport of cargo within microfluidic channel networks. The CNT-based synthetic nanomotor can propel a large cargo load at high speeds through predetermined paths and junctions of the microchannel network. The magnetic properties of the nickel-containing nanomotors offer controlled cargo manipulations, including en-route load, drag, and release. Such use of synthetic nanomachines can lead to chemically powered versatile laboratory-on-a-chip devices performing a series of tasks simultaneously or sequentially.
我们展示了催化纳米线马达在微流控通道网络中用于定向运动和货物的微尺度运输。基于碳纳米管的合成纳米马达能够以高速推动大量货物负载通过微通道网络的预定路径和交叉点。含镍纳米马达的磁性特性可实现对货物的可控操作，包括途中加载、拖拽和释放。这种合成纳米机器的应用能够带来化学驱动的多功能芯片实验室设备，可同时或依次执行一系列任务。
