The concept of lateral optical force (LOF) is of general interest in optical manipulation as it
releases the constraint of intensity gradient in tightly focused light, yet such a force is …

Optical pulling provides a new degree of freedom in optical manipulation. It is generally
believed that long-range optical pulling forces cannot be generated by the gradient of the …

Research about singularities has been driving scientific advancements across mathematics
and physics. Comprehending and harnessing the novel properties of singularities in …

Aside from optical pushing and trap** that have been implemented successfully, the
transportation of objects backward to the source by the optical pulling forces (OPFs) has …

A dielectric microsphere concentrates light into a photonic nanojet (PNJ), and swims
towards the near-infrared laser in response to the nanojet-mediated force. In contrast, a …

Optical tractor beams capable of pulling particles backward have garnered significant and
increasing interest. Traditional optical tractor beams are limited to free space beams with …

Circularly polarized light carries spin angular momentum, so it can exert an optical torque on
the polarization-anisotropic particle by the spin momentum transfer. Here, we show that …

The unique size effects of nanowires have inspired their implementation in superconducting
materials, micro/nano electromechanical systems, and flexible devices. Nanoskiving …
