Abstract:

We have developed graphene-based, electron-transparent interfaces to enable high-resolution structural and functional inquiry of fundamental biophysics using electron as the probe. In particular, we have been focusing on developing graphene microfluidic devices with two strategic approaches: (i) direct growth of graphene channels via chemical vapor deposition on microstructured metal catalysts; (ii) assembly of all-carbon based microfluidic device by transferring pregrown graphene onto patterned graphite substrate. Moreover, we have extended the scope of the research to use electron probes for functional biophysical inquiry.
