I remember seeing particles (possibly manipulated by optical tweezers) doing a scottish dance (strip the willow) also tetris with particles. Can anyone give me the link to one of these?

Thanks

As I recall, that was actually a crazy dream you had after eating a whole carton of Twinkies.

Hello Leila,

Thank you for your interest in the Dancing Particles video. While I am not familiar with a specific video featuring particles doing a Scottish dance and playing Tetris, there are many fascinating videos and experiments involving optical tweezers and particles. Optical tweezers use a focused laser beam to trap and manipulate small particles, allowing for precise control and movement. This technology has been used in various scientific studies, including in the fields of biophysics and nanotechnology.

I suggest searching for videos or articles on optical tweezers and particle manipulation to learn more about the capabilities and applications of this technology. You may also find some interesting demonstrations or experiments similar to the one you saw. I hope this helps and happy exploring!

Best,
