TT.X - Technical Multi-Track with Parallel SYMPOSIA
Optical and Acoustic trapping
Co-organized with The Mediterranean University of Reggio Calabria Chairs: Giuliana FAGGIO & Giacomo MESSINA, The Mediterranean University of Reggio Calabria
Contactless manipulation of particles has many important applications in different fields such as nanoscience, biology, electronic industrial processes, container-less transportation. In this session, we will discuss about trapping and manipulation of particles by using optical and acoustic forces, which allow the study of samples with size ranging from tens of nanometers to millimeters. We will highlight the pros and cons of each technique and discuss their possible integration. In addition, we will show some recent results obtained in metamaterial science, environmental pollution monitoring and astrophysics.
