hi
do anyone of you know optical tweezers... these are used in manipulating nanoparticles... any of u if ur working or familiar in nanotechnology or optical tweezers.. it would greatly help me...
please reply
thanks in advance

i did that earlier... but that is not what i am looking.. some specific info...eg. what forces exist when handling nanoparticles with laser lights... papers i have seen discuss abt only 2 forces.. i doubt that there mite also b other forces.. so issues like these are kinda doubtful for me... so if any1 of u know abt optical tweezers.. or have any gud papers on them.. please let me know.. thanks for helping in clarifyin my own question... lookin forward for furthur help

Can you state your question clearly? It will help you get a meaningful answer.
 
well there seems to be confusion among people.. sory for that...
I am currently working on Optical Tweezers... My case involves forces experienced by a sphere (of some nanometeres in diameter) in water. I know that optical forces are the major forces, apart from that what all forces does the sphere experience. Also, my past glance at some papers on nanoparticle manipulation says me that capillary,electrostatic,van der waals, gravity and buoyancy forces can exist. I am not sure of these.. and thus i am reerting to you people...
Hope i am somewhat clear now... please let me know for furthur clarifications
Feeling sad that inspite of these many conversation in this thread... there hsnt beeen productive result... sorry if i wasted ur time

thanks a lot for the support u have shown till now

lukin forward to hear from you
have a nice time
thanks once again
 

Thread 'The Power of QM and QFT'

We often see discussions about what QM and QFT mean, but hardly anything on just how fundamental they are to much of physics. To rectify that, see the following; https://www.cambridge.org/engage/api-gateway/coe/assets/orp/resource/item/66a6a6005101a2ffa86cdd48/original/a-derivation-of-maxwell-s-equations-from-first-principles.pdf 'Somewhat magically, if one then applies local gauge invariance to the Dirac Lagrangian, a field appears, and from this field it is possible to derive Maxwell’s...

Thread 'Importance of Hanbury Brown and Twiss experiment'

I read Hanbury Brown and Twiss's experiment is using one beam but split into two to test their correlation. It said the traditional correlation test were using two beams........ This confused me, sorry. All the correlation tests I learnt such as Stern-Gerlash are using one beam? (Sorry if I am wrong) I was also told traditional interferometers are concerning about amplitude but Hanbury Brown and Twiss were concerning about intensity? Isn't the square of amplitude is the intensity? Please...

Thread 'Prof Mike Wiest's proposed link between quantum and consciousness'

I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...
