Assembling nanowires with Optical Tweezers |

| Physicist
Thomas LeBrun uses a special joystick to manipulate nanowires with "optical
tweezers." A highly focused laser beam attracts microscopic
objects and can be used to pick up and precisely position nanocomponents
for building semiconductor circuits or biosensors smaller than
a red blood cell. Tools for manipulating nanocomponents will help
accelerate research on the performance of new nanotechnologies. |
