Graphene-edge dielectrophoretic tweezers for trapping of biomolecules

The capability of positioning target molecules onto the edges of patterned graphene nanostructures is highly desirable. Here, the authors demonstrate that the atomically sharp edges of graphene can be used as dielectrophoretic tweezers for gradient-force-based trapping applications.
