Light-Based ‘Tractor Beam’ Generated for Nanoscale Assembly
SEATTLE, Nov. 7, 2019 — Researchers from the University of Washington (UW) have developed a method that could make reproducible manufacturing at the nanoscale possible. The team adapted an existing technique pioneered by Arthur Ashkin, optical tweezers, to operate in a...
High-Efficiency Tractor Beam Traps Atoms, Could Be Used for Quantum Experiments
ADELAIDE, Australia, Nov. 7, 2018 — University of Adelaide researchers have created a highly efficient waveguide trap for atoms that could be used for experiments in quantum memory. The trap, or tractor beam, is made of IR light that interacts with the atoms to create a change in...
Laser Tractor Beam Operates on Centimeter Scale
CANBERRA, Australia, Oct. 30, 2014 — A new laser tractor beam has the ability to attract and repel millimeter-scale objects over longer distances than previously possible.
NASA Funds ‘Tractor Beam’ Study
GREENBELT, Md., Nov. 2, 2011 — Though a mainstay in science fiction, tractor beams may no longer be limited to the likes of our imaginations. Thanks to recent funding awarded to NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, three experimental methods for corralling particles and...
Terahertz pulses manipulate molecular networks
KYOTO, Japan – A newly developed “tractor beam” can be used to manipulate networks of molecules, essentially softening crystals without heating them up. Until now, softening methods always have raised the temperature of crystals, changing their...
Tractor Beam Becoming a Reality
CANBERRA, Australia, Sept. 21, 2010 — Using a specially designed laser beam, researchers at the Australian National University (ANU) have developed the ability to move particles over large distances. Professor Andrei Rode’s team from the Laser Physics Center at ANU have...
