• Scientists Invent Method of Catching Bacteria with ‘Photonic Hook’

  …f energy flow propagation." Such a method of control over particles movement is promising for optofluidics. This technology uses light beams to direct micro-streams of dissolved nano- and microparticles. This allows scientists to make micro-reactors on chips and to investigate, for example, bacteria, viruses or individual cells. “We are now going to make an…
