The possibility for the manipulation of many different samples using only the light from a
laser beam opened the way to a variety of experiments. The technique, known as Optical …

Optical tweezers (OTs) are innovative instruments utilized for the manipulation of
microscopic biological objects of interest. Rapid improvements in precision and degree of …

Solitons attract a great deal of interest in many fields, ranging from optics to fluid mechanics,
cosmology, particle physics and condensed matter. However, solitons of these very different …

Trap** a single aerosol particle allows detailed investigation of its fundamental properties
over extended time periods without external interferences. Optical trap** has developed …

Optical trap** and manipulation of objects down to the Ångstrom level has revolutionized
research at the smallest scales in all natural sciences. The flexibility of optical trap** …

We customize a transversely structured, tunable light landscape on the basis of orbital
angular momentum (OAM)-carrying beams for the purpose of advanced optical …

AT cell is a sensitive self-referential mechanical sensor. Mechanical forces influence the
recognition, activation, differentiation, and function throughout the lifetime of a T cell. T cells …

In this article, we report how Janus particles, composed of a silica sphere with a gold half-
shell, can be not only stably trapped by optical tweezers but also displaced controllably …

Resonators of surface plasmons are discussed in this review. Any material supporting the
excitation of surface plasmons, either by light, or by electron beams can be used for …
