KathieB Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 The 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to scientists from the US, Canada, and France for their work in using light to make miniature tools, including "optical tweezers" that allow researchers to manipulate microscopic objects and living organisms. Not something we'd want to add to our toolboxes, but the idea of microscopic manipulation fascinates me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
