Tools made of light - Nobel Prize in Physics 2018
We congratulate Arthur Ashkin for being awarded with the Nobel prize for the development of the optical tweezer, our most important tool made of light for the investigation of nano particles, bacteria and cells.
We are especially pleased that this award our actual work on measuring low forces and elasticity in cells, new methods for nano assembly and for the usage of nano particles as sensors for complex light fields comes to the fore.
