Description This important Volume contains selected papers and extensive Commentaries on laser Trapping and Manipulation of Neutral Particles Using radiation pressure forces.
with his colleagues, he first demonstrated Optical levitation, the Trapping of atoms, and tweezer Trapping and Manipulation o.
The author is the discoverer of Optical Trapping and Optical tweezers.
The number of applications continues to grow at a rapid rate.
Many applications in nanotechnology involve particle and cell sorting, particle rotation, microfabrication of simple machines, microfluidics, and other micrometer devices.
Positional and temporal resolutions have been achieved, making possible the study of RNA and DNA polymerases, as they undergo their various copying, backtracking, and error correcting functions on a single base pair basis.
Unique in vitro and in vivo assays study the driving forces, stepping motion, kinetics, and efficiency of these motors as they move along the cell\'s cytoskeleton.
A major application in biophysics is the study of the mechanical properties of the many types of motor molecules, mechanoenzymes, and other macromolecules responsible for the motion of organelles within cells and the locomotion of entire cells.
Some of the applications are high precision atomic clocks, gyroscopes, the measurement of gravity, cryptology, atomic computers, cavity quantum electrodynamics and coherent atom lasers.
This made possible the first demonstration of Bose-Einstein condensation of atomic and molecular vapors.
These are the lowest temperatures in the universe.
In atomic physics, the Trapping and cooling of atoms down to nanokelvins and even picokelvin temperatures are possible.
These Optical methods have had a revolutionary impact on the fields of atomic and molecular physics, biophysics, and many aspects of nanotechnology.
Such techniques apply to a variety of small particles, such as atoms, molecules, macroscopic dielectric particles, living cells, and organelles within cells.
