After stress comes relax(ation) by Lucio Isa

“…Phys. http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/17/10/103032 17 http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/17/10/103032 ) perform ‘miniaturized’ mechanical tests on a range of viscoelastic materials by dragging a micron-sized bead across them using optical tweezers. Upon switching off all the external forces, they watch the bead recoil to its original position and by tracking its motion they pinpoint the relaxation time of the material. …”

Ultracold polar molecules as qudits by Mur-Petit, J, Sawant, R, Blackmore, JA, Gregory, PD, Hutson, JM, Jaksch, D, Aldegunde, J, Tarbutt, MR, Cornish, SL

“…We discuss how the internal structure of ultracold molecules, trapped in the motional ground state of optical tweezers, can be used to implement qudits. We explore the rotational, fine and hyperfine structure of 40Ca19F and 87Rb133Cs, which are examples of molecules with 2Σ and 1Σ electronic ground states, respectively. …”

Proposal for Alzheimer's diagnosis using molecular buffer and bus network by Mitatha, S., Moongfangklang, N., Jalil, Muhammad Arif, Suwanpayak, N., Saktioto, T., Ali, Jalil, Yupapin, P. P.

“…The optical vortices can be generated and controlled to form the trapping tools in the same way as the optical tweezers. In theory, the trapping force is formed by the combination between the gradient field and scattering photons, and is reviewed. …”

Single-Molecule Stochastic Resonance by K. Hayashi, S. de Lorenzo, M. Manosas, J. M. Huguet, F. Ritort

“…Here we carry out the first experimental study of SR in single DNA hairpins which exhibit cooperatively transitions from folded to unfolded configurations under the action of an oscillating mechanical force applied with optical tweezers. By varying the frequency of the force oscillation, we investigate the folding and unfolding kinetics of DNA hairpins in a periodically driven bistable free-energy potential. …”
