The mighty photon
The fact that photons of light carry momentum so can exert mechanical force is not just an academic curiosity; researchers have harnessed such forces for various applications, 'optical tweezers' being a notable example. Now Eichenfield
et al
. have engineered a system of simple photonic structures on a silicon chip in whi...
