Funded Activity Summary

Using light to move molecules-a novel approach to exploring intermolecular forces. It is in the last few nanometres above a surface that many real-world effects originate. Using a fine stylus and the momentum from a laser beam, the project will nano-mechanically perturb molecules to reveal forces on a sub-molecular scale. Gaining control at this scale is central to developing an understanding of many natural and industrial processes.
