DESCRIPTION:Prof. Osamu Tabata\, Kyoto University\, JAPAN & Freiburg Insti
 tute for Advanced Studies\, Germany\nNanosystem in which multiple nano-sca
 le functional building blocks made of variety of nano-materials integrated
  with MEMS becomes increasingly important as a key device for next generat
 ion MEMS devices. An assembly technique bridging the gap between nano-scal
 e building blocks and micro-scale MEMS is expected to play an important ro
 le as a complementary approach for a top-down and a bottom-up approaches t
 o realize Nanosystem. The author termed a systematic approach to realize N
 anosystem using eight unit operations of a self-assembly such as synthesis
 \, transfer\, sorting\, positioning\, alignment\, placement\, bonding and 
 interconnection as SENS (Synthetic Engineering for Nano System) and starte
 d a relevant research intensively [Tabata\, ECS Trans.\, 16\, 15\, pp.49-6
 4\, 2008].\n	One of the challenging points for the SENS is implementation 
 of a self-assembly sequence control of multiple functional building blocks
  in a pre-determined order to realize highly functional Nanosystem. As a f
 irst step\, the author proved the feasibility of the idea to utilize DNA w
 hich can be engineered as an intelligent adhesive to assemble micrometer s
 cale silicon components. As a second step\, the research project is in pro
 gress to use a hundred nanometer scale rectangular DNA origami scaffold as
  a functional building block on which a simple ordered nano-structure comp
 osed of nanomaterial such as nano-particle\, carbon nanotube etc are arran
 ged.\n	All the assembly sequence is carried out at “Nanosystem Assembler
 ” which utilizes a micro fluidicdevice. In this presentation\, the detai
 l of the proposed approach and preliminarly experimental results will be p
 resented. Furthermore\, the remaining problem to be solved to realize SENS
  by DNA nanotechnology will be overviewed.
