Small optical force can budge nanoscale objects (Science Daily)
With a bit of leverage, researchers have used a very tiny beam of light with as little as 1 milliwatt of power to move a silicon structure up to 12 nanometers. That’s enough to completely switch the optical properties of the structure from opaque to transparent. (read on…) Related items Small Optical Force Can Budge Nanoscale Objects... »
