Optical Trapping: Method Used in Atomic Cooling Experiments
Optical trapping is a way of cooling atoms to the point where they are no longer in motion—or are trapped. One may instantly think of optical tweezers when hearing the mention of optical trapping. While ...
New Optical Tweezers Technique Revamps Single Cell Experimentation
Researchers at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, UK have developed a new design for optical tweezers using a single diode-coupled multicore fiber. The novel method promises a much more flexible ...
