New MEMS Tweezers for the Viscoelastic Characterization of Soft Materials at the Microscale

As many studies show, there is a relation between the tissue’s mechanical characteristics and some specific diseases. Knowing this relationship would help early diagnosis or microsurgery. In this paper, a new method for measuring the viscoelastic properties of soft materials at the microscale is pro...
