Lab-on-a-chip: artist's impression of DNA strands (travelling from left to right) trapped by optical forces in a slot waveguide and transported by those forces in a direction perpendicular to the original flow. Optofluidics could one day yield cancer-cell-destroying microchips that circulate in the bloodstream. Credit: Nicolle Rager Fuller, NSF. |
