with a laser ramping up. Ion trapping by RF has been known for 60 years. In more recent decades, the field of optical trapping of neutral atoms has come into its own. "The question is: Why did it take thirty years longer to trap atoms rather
a high-quality structure that they could replicate without error, they settled on an assembly method based on optical trapping . In the technique, colloidal silica microspheres are caught and moved into place within a clear UV-curing gel
The forces exerted by tightly focused laser beams can create optical tweezers for the purpose of manipulating small particles.
Newly available to broad audiences, optical-tweezer technology is becoming easier to implement and operate, and is poised to open new vistas—especially for single-molecule discovery.
