Using laser tweezers, chemists nudged two atoms to bond It’s the first time chemists have manipulated two atoms to create a compound ...

Using laser “tweezers,” UB scientists grab protein droplets and push them together — experiments that reveal information about how hard or fluid the droplets are. The white scale bar in the top-right ...

Using "laser tweezers," researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have measured the strength of the bond between a single integrin molecule on the surface of a platelet and ...

Unfortunately, these laser tweezers are difficult to wield. But McGloin's team has come up with a new solution: using Windows 7 and the Kinect for full-body control over these tiny particles. They ...

Laser Tweezers I wish to clarify one point in the article "Special Report: Cell Biologists Combine Old With New Tools" [The Scientist, Dec. 10, 1990, page 28]. Although the article says that Cell ...

Using laser tweezers, engineers from Bochum assemble microscopic components to larger structures. One day, this method may be used for building micro-robots.

She's using these tweezers to build nano structures that control beams of light, aiding in the development of anything from optical microscopes to light-fuelled computer technology, she reports.

A new set of laser tweezers offers scientists unprecedented control over objects just tens of billionths of a meter in size. The device could allow biologists to probe individual viruses and ...

The laser beam captures the polystyrene bead in its tweezers-like grip. Manipulating the laser tweezers, Bianco maneuvers the DNA into the path of the ATP, which jump-starts the helicase.

Little is known about how malaria invades one red blood cell after another because it happens so quickly. In a new study, researchers used laser optical tweezers to study interactions between the ...

Ultra-precise ‘laser tweezers’ have enabled scientists to handle individual strands of DNA with unprecedented dexterity. The technique devised by Ken Hirano of the University of Tokushima in Japan and ...
