A team led by Francesca Ferlaino has set a new milestone in atomic physics by trapping individual erbium atoms in optical ...

I always have a set of tweezers in my makeup bag. I use them to maintain my groomed bushy brows and pluck those errant face hairs that bug me. After years of going through cheap drugstore brands ...

To create the chip, researchers used an integrated optical phase array, which contains microscale antennae that are ...

Discover the evolution of optical tweezers, a powerful tool used to manipulate particles at the microscopic scale. Explore their history, advancements, and wide-ranging applications in nanotechnology, ...

A new measurement theory for dual-trap optical tweezers shows researchers for the first time how to easily optimize their experiments to limit noise from Brownian movement. You have full access to ...

This tool, called optical tweezers, uses a focused laser to hold and manipulate objects. Even after 48 years, optical tweezers are still very relevant, and physicists continue to use this innovation ...

Optical Tweezers use light to move objects as small as a single atom. Optical tweezer systems use a laser beam focused by a high-quality microscope objective to produce an "optical trap" which is ...

One handy tool is the SMD soldering tweezers – useful not only for manual soldering of parts, but also for de-soldering them quickly and without causing damage to the part or the board.

tweezers, and a multimeter. A hot air station temperature of a smidgeon under 300 degrees Celsius was just right for this ...
