Optical tweezers, which earned the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018, are a powerful tool used to manipulate microscopic ...

Democratizing optical-tweezer-based rheology Optical tweezers use a highly focused laser beam to hold and move atoms, nanoparticles or micron-sized particles. As the name itself suggests, they are ...

The study is published in the journal Optica. The team's method involved creating "ballistic rotating optical tweezers"—by shining a laser through a microscope and controlling its polarization ...

Researchers will soon be able to study biological changes at scales and speeds not previously possible to significantly ...

A new measurement theory for dual-trap optical tweezers shows researchers for the first time how to easily optimize their experiments to limit noise from Brownian movement. You have full access to ...

The Lumicks C-Trap® is a correlative single-molecule system combining optical tweezers with multicolour fluorescence imaging. This enables simultaneous manipulation of trapped molecules of interest ...

Exploiting the hyperfine structure in repulsive light-assisted collisions (LAC) on a 87-Rubidium atom pair in an optical tweezer. When atoms collide, their exact structure—for example ...

We marry the tools of quantum gas microscopy, optical tweezer technology, and high precision spectroscopy in order to gain single-particle control at fundamental length scales and very small energy ...
