Opto-thermoelectric Nanotweezers on path to commercialized nano-particle manipulators integrated to smartphones
Yuebing Zheng, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, is working toward with his “nanotweezers” — a new tool for handling nanoparticles using light that could create opportunities for innovations in nanotechnology and individual health monitoring. Research groups involved in nanophotonics, nanochemistry and nanophysics research have provided the tools to …
