Conventional optical tweezers, formed at the diffraction-limited focus of a laser beam, have
become a powerful and flexible tool for manipulating micrometre-sized objects. Extending …

The phenomenon of light's momentum was first observed in the laboratory at the beginning
of the twentieth century, and its potential for manipulating microscopic particles was …

We study the thermodynamic properties induced by non-reciprocal interactions between
stochastic degrees of freedom in time-and space-continuous systems. We show that, under …

Optical tweezers are a highly versatile tool for exploration of the mesoscopic world,
permitting non-contact manipulation of nanoscale objects. However, direct illumination with …

The positioning of biological cells has become increasingly important in biomedical
research such as drug discovery, cell-to-cell interaction, and tissue engineering. Significant …

Nanoaperture optical tweezers are emerging as useful label-free, free-solution tools for the
detection and identification of biological molecules and their interactions at the single …

Optical tweezers have revolutionised micromanipulation from physics and biology to
material science. However, the high laser power involved in optical trap** can damage …

We combine optical tweezers with feedback to impose arbitrary potentials on a colloidal
particle. The feedback trap detects a particle's position, calculates a force based on an …

Immune checkpoint blockade with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that target programmed
cell death protein-1 (PD-1) has remarkably revolutionized cancer therapy. Their binding …

While several automatic manipulation techniques have recently been developed for optical
tweezer systems, the measurement of the velocity of cell is required and the interaction …
