A microscale Brownian ratchet

A microscale Brownian ratchet After many years of speculation, effective microdevices that can separate particles by converting random motion into directed motion have finally arrived. A new study demonstrates ratcheted transport of microspheres across a microfabricated membrane. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Nature Materials Springer Journals
