Cornell Researchers Use Very Tiny Beam of Light to Move Silicon Structure up to 12 Nanometers

With a bit of leverage, Cornell researchers have used a very tiny beam of light with as little as 1 milliwatt of power to move a silicon structure up to 12 nanometers. That's enough to completely switch the optical properties of the structure from opaque to transparent, they reported.
