Transfection is a modern and powerful method used to insert foreign nucleic acids into
eukaryotic cells. The ability to modify host cells' genetic content enables the broad …

Optical trap** and manipulation of micrometre-sized particles was first reported in 1970.
Since then, it has been successfully implemented in two size ranges: the subnanometre …

Femtosecond laser ablation permits non‐invasive surgeries in the bulk of a sample with
submicrometer resolution. We briefly review the history of optical surgery techniques and the …

Some background as well as recent progress in the development of femtosecond lasers are
discussed together with a brief outline of a few representative emergent applications in …

Femtosecond laser fabrication has grown to be a major method of extreme manufacturing
because of the extreme energy density and spatial and temporal scales of femtosecond …

The generation of nanobubbles around plasmonic nanostructures is an efficient approach
for imaging and therapy, especially in the field of cancer research. We show a novel method …

The plasma membrane of a eukaryotic cell is impermeable to most hydrophilic substances,
yet the insertion of these materials into cells is an extremely important and universal …

Abstract “Non‐diffracting” beams do not spread as they propagate. This property is useful in
many areas. Here, the theory, generation, properties, and applications of various “non …

A femtosecond laser based transfection method using off-resonance plasmonic gold
nanoparticles is described. For human cancer melanoma cells, the treatment leads to a very …
