In this optical tweezer set-up, the packaging complex is tethered between two beads and coupled to a rotor bead via dsDNA. The middle image is a micrograph of the set-up and on the right is an image ...

A project at MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) has developed a new design of optical tweezers that could help the manipulation technology be utilized in new areas of research. The principle ...

MIT researchers have harnessed integrated optical phased array (OPA) technology to develop a type of integrated optical tweezers, akin to a miniature, chip-based “tractor beam”—like the one that ...
