Researchers from Yale University have developed a nanodevice which combines both mechanical and optical forces at the nanoscale. Scientists have used lasers to control molecular vibrations since the 1980’s with the purpose of observing molecules “undisturbed” in their environment. The device that the Yale researchers developed is called a light-driven nanoresonator, and in the future [...]
