• Optical “Nanomixer”: Scientists Propose New Method for Mixing Liquids

  …rol the trajectories of particles at the nanoscale. Now it turns out that the same forces can be used for mixing liquids. How it works Based on the latest optomechanics discoveries, scientists from St. Petersburg developed a nanoantenna consisting of a miniscule silicon cube of about 200 nanometers in size. This device, invisible to the human eye, can efficient…
