Optical tweezers, using focused laser beams to manipulate objects on a nano and microscale, are helping open up a world of possibilities.
From biology to advanced technology, this unique tool could improve medicine, allow for the development of micromachines and even help create space-faring solar sails.
We are excited to welcome to you back to The Edge next month. We'll be serving up delicious light refreshments and drinks after the presentation.
