Throughout the 19th and 20th century, chirality has mostly been associated with chemistry.
However, while chirality can be very useful for understanding molecules, molecules are not …

The goal of the present article is to review the major developments that have led to the
current understanding of molecule–field interactions and experimental methods for …

Light can exert radiation pressure on any object it encounters and that resulting optical force
can be used to manipulate particles. It is commonly assumed that light should move a …

Chirality arises universally across many different fields. Recent advancements in artificial
nanomaterials have demonstrated chiroptical responses that far exceed those found in …

Today we are witnessing the electric–dipole revolution in chiral measurements. Here we
reflect on its lessons and outcomes, such as the perspective on chiral measurements using …

The idea of using optical beams to attract objects has long been a dream of scientists and
the public alike. Over the years, a number of proposals have attempted to bring this concept …

We have investigated the propagation dynamics of super-Gaussian optical beams in
fractional Schrödinger equation. We have identified the difference between the propagation …

A tutorial for calculating the response of molecules to electric and magnetic fields with
examples from research in ultracold physics, controlled chemistry, and molecular collisions …

Tremendous strides have been made in charged-particle acceleration using intense,
ultrashort laser pulses. Accelerating neutral atoms is an important complementary …

Lateral optical forces in a direction perpendicular to light propagation have attracted
increasing interest in recent years. Up to now, all lateral forces can be attributed to the …
