Microtubular nanomembrane devices: From energy storage to reproduction technologies
M
icrotubular nanomembrane devices (MNDs) with outstanding properties are self-assembled into fully functional
and integrative three-dimensional architectures. This makes them attractive for a broad range of applications and
scientific research fields ranging from energy storage to reproduction technologies. MNDs are used to construct ultra-
compact energy storage devices as well as ultra-sensitive advanced electronic circuitry, nanophotonic cavities, sensors and
optofluidic components towards the implementation of a lab-in-a-tube system. They are also useful to study basic mechanisms
of single cancer and stem cell migration, growth and mitosis in realistic 3D confined environments. Off-chip applications
include biomimetic microelectronics for regenerative cuff implants and the development of hybrid microbiorobotic motors
for paradigm shifting reproduction technologies. Cellular cyborg machinery is put forth for novel schemes in targeted drug
delivery and cancer treatment.
Biography
Oliver G. Schmidt is the Director of the Institute for Integrative Nanosciences at the Leibniz IFW Dresden, Germany. His interests bridge across several disciplines, ranging
from nanomaterials and nanoelectronics to microfluidics, microrobotics and biomedical applications. He has received several awards: the Otto-Hahn Medal from the
Max-Planck-Society in 2000, the Philip-Morris Research Award in 2002, the Carus-Medal from the German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina in 2005, and the
International Dresden Barkhausen Award in 2013. Most recently, he was awarded the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz-Prize 2018 of the German Research Foundation. The
Leibniz-Prize is Germany’s most important research award and recognizes his outstanding work in the investigation, manufacturing and innovative application of functional
nanostructures.
