The Optical Forces Acting on a Moving Nanodiamond

Caption

The optical forces acting on the nanodiamond. The nanodiamond absorbs a part of the laser light that shines on it (Fabs); some of the light is also scattered (Fsca). The interactions between these forces causes the movement of the nanodiamond (Hideki Fujiwara et al. Science Advances. 13 January 2021).
