Vanderbilt engineer develops tiny tweezers to trap nanoscale molecules as small as proteins
An assistant professor of electrical engineering has developed the first-ever opto-thermo-electrohydrodynamic tweezers, optical nanotweezers that can trap and manipulate objects as small as proteins and viruses. The technique, developed by Justus Ndukaife and two graduate students in his group, gives researchers a powerful new tool for the study and perhaps… Read MoreAug. 31, 2020
