Summary
Optically controlled containers for experiments in soft matter. Nanotechnology has a promising future in the fabrication of small machines but exactly how these machines work is far less certain as they defy fundamental, classical thermodynamics. This equipment will allow Australian researchers to probe the energy dissipation of, and the work done by, small systems, including those of single molecules, colloidal crystals and membranes.
