Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, these technologies are limited by the disadvantages of high voltage (hundreds to thousands of volts), low flux, and easy blockage. They need to generate a very large field intensity distribution locally, which has great limitations on molecular manipulation.
At the same time, manipulating molecules directly using physics is less specific
