Nonlinear optical properties of photoresists for projection lithography [PDF]
Optical beams are self-focused and self-trapped upon initiating crosslinking in photoresists. This nonlinear optical phenomenon is apparent only for low average optical intensities and produces index of refraction changes as large as 0.04.

Nanoscale Optical Trapping by Means of Dielectric Bowtie
Plasmonic and dielectric tweezers represent a common paradigm for an innovative and efficient optical trapping at the micro/nanoscale. Plasmonic configurations provide subwavelength mode confinement, resulting in very high optical forces, at the expense ...

For several decades, ions have been trapped by radio frequency (RF) and neutral particles by optical fields. We implement the experimental proof-of-principle for trapping an ion in an optical dipole trap. While loading, initialization and final detection

Plasmon-assisted optical trapping and anti-trapping
The ability to manipulate small objects with focused laser beams has opened a venue for investigating dynamical phenomena relevant to both fundamental and applied science. Nanophotonic and plasmonic structures enable superior performance in optical trapping via highly confined near-fields.

Recent theoretical and experimental studies have shed light on how laser trapping dynamics under femtosecond pulsed excitation are fine-tuned by optical and thermal nonlinearities.

Calculation and optical measurement of laser trapping forces on non-spherical particles [PDF]
Optical trapping, where microscopic particles are trapped and manipulated by light is a powerful and widespread technique, with the single-beam gradient trap (also known as optical tweezers) in use for a large number of biological and other applications.

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

PARP inhibitors induce a senescence phenotype in non‐small cell lung carcinoma cell lines
Talazoparib is the most potent inducer of senescence among different PARP1 inhibitors in human NSCLC cells. In the absence of PARP, no senescence phenotype was observed, demonstrating that PARP1 is necessary for the induction of senescence by this inhibitor.

Orientation- and wavelength-dependent sperm motility in optical trapping
Optical tweezers technology has the characteristics of noncontact manipulation in three dimensions and steerable separation in solutions, and could be applied to obtain a separated sperm with high quality for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI ...

Single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assays for high‐throughput DNA–protein interaction studies
We describe an optimised single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assay that visualises DNA–protein interactions in real time. Linear DNA fragments are tethered to a surface and stretched by buffer flow for fluorescence imaging. Using λ and φX174 DNA, this protocol enhances reproducibility and accessibility, providing a versatile approach for studying diverse ...
