Optical tweezers are tools made of light that enable contactless pushing, trapping, and
manipulation of objects, ranging from atoms to space light sails. Since the pioneering work …

In this mini-review, recent advances on the role of a focused laser in micro-and nanofluidic
systems is widely introduced with special interest in thermo-fluid dynamical aspects and …

Optical binding has recently gained considerable attention because it enables the light-
induced assembly of many-body systems; however, this phenomenon has only been …

Structured light has emerged as an important tool to interrogate and manipulate matter at
micron and sub-micron scale. One form of structured light is an optical vortex beam. The …

Mapping of the spatial and temporal motion of particles inside an optical field is critical for
understanding and further improvement of the 3D spatio-temporal control over their optical …

Laser trapping at an interface is a unique platform for aligning and assembling
nanomaterials outside the focal spot. In our previous studies, Au nanoparticles form a …

Optical matter, a transient arrangement formed by the interaction of light with
micro/nanoscale objects, provides responsive and highly tunable materials that allow for …

Abstract We introduce UAMMD (Universally Adaptable Multiscale Molecular Dynamics), a
novel software infrastructure tailored for mesoscale complex fluid simulations on GPUs. The …

Optical trapping of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) at a glass/solution interface initially
generates a periodically aligned structure of a few NPs along the direction perpendicular to …

Gaining control on particle–particle interactions and in this way on their (self)‐assembled
structures is essentialfor colloidal and material sciences. Currently, different strategies are …
