Indirect optical trapping using light driven micro-rotors for reconfigurable hydrodynamic manipulation

Optical tweezing with intense lasers can be harmful to biological specimens and limits the types of materials that can be trapped. Here, the authors demonstrate an indirect optical trapping approach which uses hydrodynamic forces to exert nanoscale-precision control over aqueous particles, without d...
