Описание к видео 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics: Optical Tweezers

The 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded in part to physicist Arthur Ashkin, for his work on optical tweezers. Optical tweezers are based upon the idea that light particles, namely photons, have momentum, and on a small scale, the effects of changes in momentum become more apparent. Arthur Ashkin's work on optical tweezers has important applications in the fields of biology, as they allow us to delve into the living cell and observe the happenings in real time.
