Optical tweezers revolutionized the manipulation of nanoscale objects. Typically, tunable
manipulations of optical tweezers rely on adjusting either the trapping laser beams or the …

Fluorescent biomedical materials can visualize subcellular structures and therapy processes
in vivo. The aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) phenomenon helps suppress the …

The optical resonance between an absorbing particle and the trapping laser can enhance
the radiation force exerted on micro/nanoscale objects. However, the exact mechanism …

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 …

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 …

So far, the optical trapping potential is controlled by tuning the physical conditions of the
system. Herein, for the first time, an approach, in which the induced optical force or optical …
