Optical trapping is the craft of manipulating objects with light. Decades after its first inception
in 1970, the technique has become a powerful tool for ultracold‐atom physics and …

Realization of technologies for the mechanical manipulation (trapping, transportation,
positioning, and aligning) of individual nanoscale particles has been an aspiration of …

This Perspective describes recent progress in optical trappings of nanoparticles based on
localized surface plasmon. This plasmonic optical trapping has great advantages over the …

Optical trapping and manipulation have been widely applied to biological systems, and their
cutting-edge techniques are creating current trends in nanomaterial sciences. The resonant …

We establish a theoretical framework that provides a bridge between the microscopic to
macroscopic descriptions of the radiation force (RF) under a quantum resonance condition …

Optical tweezers are powerful tools to trap, transport, and analyse individual nano-objects at
dilute concentrations. However, it is still challenging to manipulate isolated single nano …

The possibility of simultaneous control of the configuration and optical functions of a metallic
nanoparticle (NP) assembly by light-induced force (LIF) and thermal fluctuations has been …

A highly efficient natural light-harvesting antenna has a ring-like structure consisting of dye
molecules whose absorption band changes through selective evolutionary processes driven …

We propose nonlinear resonant laser manipulation, a technique that drastically enhances
the number of degrees of freedom when manipulating nano-objects. Considering the high …
