Thermally Induced Knudsen Forces for Contactless Manipulation of a Micro-Object

In this paper, we propose that thermally induced Knudsen forces in a rarefied gas can be exploited to achieve a tweezer-like mechanism that can be used to trap and grasp a micro-object without physical contact. Using the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method, we showed that the proposed mechan...
