Optical nanoparticles are nowadays one of the key elements of photonics. They do not only allow optical imaging of a plethora of systems (from cells to microelectronics), but also behave as highly ...

Controlling and trapping molecules, units of a substance consisting of two or more chemically bound atoms, with laser light ...

Unlike the other technologies highlighted in this issue, optical trapping systems are not typically purchased off-the-shelf. Rather, they are specially built to custom specifications, often at ...

The gradient-thickness-protected microbottle resonator traps 500-nanometer-radius polystyrene particles across an axial span exceeding 195 micrometers with a threshold power of just 0.198 milliwatts.

Researchers showed that biofilm formation can be controlled with laser light in the form of optical traps. The findings could allow scientists to harness biofilms for various bioengineering ...
