Fluid delivery to cells and sensing properties of cells using nanotubes
TL;DR: In this article, a fluid delivery technique for determining or sensing a property of a cell includes inserting two nanotubes into the cell, measuring at least one of a voltage and a resistance between the two nano-connections, and relating the voltage and the resistance to properties of the cell.
Journal ArticleDOI
