Precise in situ radius measurement of individual optically trapped microspheres using negative optical torque exerted by focused vortex beams
Kainã Diniz, Tanja Schoger, Guilherme T. Moura +6
We demonstrate a new method for determining the radius of micron-sized particles trapped by a vortex laser beam. The technique is based on measuring the rotation experienced by the…
Tailoring bistability in optical tweezers with vortex beams and spherical aberration
Arthur Luna da Fonseca, Kainã Diniz, Paula Borges Monteiro +7
We demonstrate a bistable optical trap by tightly focusing a vortex laser beam. The optical potential has the form of a Mexican hat with an additional minimum at the center. The bi…
Universal Casimir attraction between filaments at the cell scale
Benjamin Spreng, Hélène Berthoumieux, Astrid Lambrecht +3
The electromagnetic Casimir interaction between dielectric objects immersed in salted water includes a universal contribution that is not screened by the solvent and therefore long…
A universal attractive interaction between filaments at the cell scale
Anne-Florence Bitbol, Hélène Berthoumieux, Benjamin Spreng +2
Actin filaments and microtubules both often form bundles of parallel filaments within cells. Here, we shed light on a universal attractive interaction between two such parallel fil…
