Title
Tiny Tweezers.
Abstract
The article discusses a device, the plasmonic nanotweezer, that may facilitate the isolation and study of tiny particles such as viruses according to Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) engineers in 2011. Published in the journal "Nature Communications," the device reportedly uses light from a laser to trap nanoscale particles. It explains why the new device is more efficient than traditional optical tweezers and how they were able to solve overheating problems.
