Discover the evolution of optical tweezers, a powerful tool used to manipulate particles at the microscopic scale. Explore their history, advancements, and wide-ranging applications in nanotechnology, ...
[Ken] found that using traditional tweezers is a good way to lose tiny surface mount parts and so set out to make his own vacuum tweezers (PDF). He already had a small aquarium pump that he used ...
A new measurement theory for dual-trap optical tweezers shows researchers for the first time how to easily optimize their experiments to limit noise from Brownian movement. You have full access to ...
The tiny device uses a tightly focused beam of light to capture and manipulate cells. MIT researchers have developed a miniature, chip-based “tractor beam,” like the one that captures the Millennium ...
