The field of optical tweezers and manipulation techniques has witnessed remarkable advancements, transcending its early applications in trapping micrometre‐sized objects to now encompass precise ...
In 1986, American physicist Arthur Ashkin developed a fascinating tool that could gently pick and move microscopic objects like cells and molecules without touching them. This tool, called optical ...
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 ...
In this interview, AZoNano speaks with Jingang Li from the University of California, Berkley, who offers an introduction to the Nobel Prize-winning technology, Optical Tweezers. We discuss the history ...
A new review conveys the latest achievements in optical tweezers. Optical tweezers (OTs), also known as optical traps, are highly focused laser beams that can be used to trap and manipulate ...
Photons of light possess linear and angular momentum. This fundamental characteristic is crucial to trapping objects optically using a highly focused laser beam. Using this light feature, the Optical ...
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 ...
Researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have proposed a new technology, called optical tweezer-assisted ...
When Art Ashkin, Steve Chu, and their colleagues at Bell Labs in Holmdel, NJ, first invented optical tweezers, they spent their days pushing around tiny, glass spheres. But it wasn't long after their ...
