Scientists Design Optical Nanocavities within Periodically Nanostructured Dielectric Materials

EPFL scientists have achieved optical trapping of sub-micrometre particles at unprecedented low powers of the field inducing the trap. The trapping phenomenon is also accompanied with cavity back-action effects, which result from the mutual interaction between the position of the trapped particle and the cavity field.

Researchers Employ Atomic Force Microscope to Study Cell Bond Lifetimes

Researchers have for the first time demonstrated that mechanical forces can control the depolymerization of actin, a critical protein that provides the major force-bearing structure in the cytoskeletons of cells. The research suggests that forces applied both externally and internally may play a much larger role than previously believed in regulating a range of processes inside cells.
