In recognition of the broad impact of optical manipulation techniques across disciplines, this Special Issue collected contributions related to all aspects of optical trapping and manipulation. Both theoretical and experimental studies were welcome, and applications of optical manipulation methods in fields including (but not limited to) single molecule biophysics, cell biology, nanotechnology, atmospheric chemistry, and fundamental optics were particularly welcome in order to showcase the breadth of the current research. The Special Issue accepted diverse forms of contributions, including research papers, short communications, methods, and review articles representing the state-of-the-art in optical trapping.Optical Trapping and Manipulation Technology: general issuesbicsscartificial cellscell trapping and assemblyconcentration gradientcytotoxicitydiffusiondirect laser writingevanescent fieldsfluorescenceforce spectroscopyhelium-neon laserholographic optical trappinghuman mesenchymal stem cellslaser irradiationlife sciencesmembrane biophysicsmembranesmicro manipulationmicrofluidicsmicroring resonatormulti-component micromanipulatorsn/aoptical fiber tweezersoptical forceoptical microrobotsoptical microscopyoptical trappingoptical trapping and manipulationoptical trapsoptical tweezersphase separationphotothermal effectpolymeric nanocapsulesradiation damageRBCs interactionsred blood cellsred blood cells (RBCs)SEMvesiclesTechnology: general issuesJones Philipedt375075Burnham Daniel RedtJones PhilipothBurnham Daniel RothBOOK9910557410703321Optical Trapping and Manipulation3037307UNINA
