Arthur Ashkin was co-recipient of the Nobel prize in 2018 for his work on optical tweezers, however, those conventional optical tweezers are limited to objects that are 100 nm in size. This talk reviews work on nanoaperture optical tweezers that can trap particles down to the single digit nanometer size, including proteins.

IEEE UK and Ireland Section is pleased to announce the formation of IEEE nanotechnology chapter. The chapter is developing an exciting events programme and is keen to build its membership. All interested members are to get in touch.
