Biomed Alumni Series Seminar : Tractor Beams on A Chip
Start Date: 10/19/2012Start Time: 4:00 PM
End Date: 10/19/2012End Time: 5:30 PM

Event Description
The Molecular NanoTweezer is capable of optically trapping the smallest objects yet including individual proteins, quantum dots, lambda DNA, polystyrene microspheres and viruses. The key to this technology is in producing incredibly small, bright “spots” of light (using near field photonics) which reach out and grab nearby particles like a tractor beam. Until now, the only direct way of altering or manipulating these objects was with chemistry or by pinning them to an AFM tip. With this new technology, diverse applications across wide disciplines are possible. In this talk, Dr. Hart will discuss the current achievements of the Molecular NanoTweezer, as well as present a brief overview of its envisioned future applications.
