Scientists Propose Tractor Beam Concept to Capture Particles Using Light
…al surface). The flat substrate allowed researchers to work with the entire surface of the material instead of small areas, as is with classical plasmon tweezers. However, the new study showed that metamaterials based on flat structures that support both hyperbolic and plasmon modes can become an even better basis for tractor beams. Metasurfaces and metamaterials wor…

2018 Student of the Year Winners on Students’ Unions, Science, and Buddy Program
…ne. This field has many possible applications, for one, in polariton lasers, which may serve as a platform for photon sources in quantum and optical computers. Thanks to these new devices, some calculations that we now believe impossible will soon become reality. For example, it now takes days and days to model the interaction of drugs and a human body or the traject…
