Ultrafast photomechanical transduction through thermophoretic implosion

Ultrafast photomechanical transduction through thermophoretic implosion

Here, the authors observe that laser illumination allows to displace a vial of nanoparticle solution over centimetre-scale distances. In order to explain this, they describe a novel mechanism for laser propulsion of a macroscopic object, based on light-induced thermophoresis.
