BrisScience: Micromachines to space sails – optical tweezers in action
Date and time: Mon, 8 Jul 2024 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM AEST
Location: The Edge, State Library of Queensland Cultural Precinct, Stanley Place South Bank, QLD 4101
Optical tweezers, using focused laser beams to manipulate objects on a nano and microscale, are helping open up a world of possibilities.
From biology to advanced technology, this unique tool could improve medicine, allow for the development of micromachines and even help create space-faring solar sails.
Join us at our next BrisScience to hear from Professor Rubinsztein-Dunlop about her incredible work. Learn about the wonders of optical tweezers and how they may help shape our future.
