AC and DC configurations on quadruple electrodes for the manipulation of nanocapsules. The nanocapsules are aligned in the direction of AC E field and transported in the direction of the DC E field. Nanocapsules were transported with controlled speed and orientation using "electric tweezers", (a) parallel (AC//DC) and (b) perpendicular (AC⊥DC) to their own alignment directions as shown in the overlapped optical images. Transporting speed is linearly proportional to the applied DC voltage.
