Wave-momentum shaping for moving objects in heterogeneous and dynamic media

Stefan Rotter, Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Bakhtiyar Orazbayev, Matthieu Francis Malléjac

Light and sound waves can move objects through the transfer of linear or angular momentum, which has led to the development of optical and acoustic tweezers, with applications ranging from biomedical engineering to quantum optics. Although impressive manip ...
