"Researchers at the the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) in
Catalonia have invented nano-optical tweezers capable of trapping and
moving an individual nano-object in three dimensions using the force of
light.
“This technique could revolutionize the field of nanoscience since,
for the first time, we have shown that it is possible to trap,
3D-manipulate, and release a single nano-object without exerting any
mechanical contact or other invasive action,” said Romain Quidant, ICREA
Professor and leader at ICFO of the Plasmon Nano-Optics research group." SOURCE: kurzweilai.net
