Scientists have long been working on improving their ability to use lasers to move small objects without actually touching them. This method of ‘optical trapping and manipulation’ is already utilized in optics, biological sciences and chemistry. But objects become much more difficult to control once they grow to nanoscale size.
Now, a team of scientists including Hokkaido University’s Keiji Sasaki and Osaka Prefecture University and Osaka University’s Hajime Ishihara have found a way to move diamond…
