AbstractConstructing colloidal particles into functional nanostructures, materials, and devices is a promising yet challenging direction. Many optical techniques have been developed to trap, manipulate, assemble, and print colloidal particles from aqueous solutions into desired configurations on solid substrates. However, these techniques operated in liquid environments generally suffer from pattern collapses, Brownian motion, and challenges that come with reconfigurable assembly. Here, we develop an all-optical technique, termed optothermally-gated photon nudging (OPN), for the versatile manipulation and dynamic patterning of a variety of colloidal particles on a solid substrate at nanoscale accuracy. OPN takes advantage of a thin surfactant layer to optothermally modulate the particle-substrate interaction, which enables the manipulation of colloidal particles on solid substrates with optical scattering force. Along with in situ optical spectroscopy, our non-invasive and contactless nanomanipulation technique will find various applications in nanofabrication, nanophotonics, nanoelectronics, and colloidal sciences.

Reconfigurable Machines form a new class of machines that are designed around a specific part family of products and allow rapid change in their structure. They are designed to allow changes in production requirements by changes in the machine mechanical configuration and structure. Reconfigurable machines might be designed for various types of production operations such as machining, inspection and assembly. This paper introduces characteristics and design principles of reconfigurable machines, and describes their features using an example of our new full-scale industrial prototype of a Reconfigurable Bore Surface Inspection Machine (RBSIM). In addition, the paper also describes briefly other three prototypes of Reconfigurable Machines that were developed during recent years in our center: (1) the Reconfigurable Machine Tool (RMT), (2) the Reconfigurable Inspection Machine (RIM), and (3) the Reconfigurable Assembly Machine (RAM).
