Ultra-high frequency non-contact vibrometry equipment for biomicrofluidics metrology

该设备将使实验振动测量达到前所未有的每秒10亿个周期，小于氦原子的宽度（20飞秒）。了解和利用这一机制所特有的现象，特别是超过十亿倍重力加速度的超大加速度，将有助于开发快速蛋白质结晶技术和恒温有机化学反应增强技术，以快速开发新药和以视频速度测量表面轮廓的新设备。（videoAFM），用于流体泵送、混合、胶体分离和浓缩的新型微型和纳米设备，以及用于非侵入性显微外科手术的新型自主纳米机器人。

This equipment will enable experimental vibration measurement up to an unprecedented one billion cycles per second of motion smaller than the width of a helium atom (20 femtometres). Understanding and harnessing the phenomena unique to this regime, especially very large accelerations surpassing one billion times the acceleration of gravity, will enable the development of rapid protein crystallisation techniques and constant-temperature organic chemical reaction enhancement for rapid development of new drugs, new devices for measuring the profile of surfaces at video speeds (videoAFM), new micro- and nano-devices for fluid pumping, mixing, colloidal separation and concentration, and new autonomous nanorobots for non-invasive microsurgery.
