Nano but Mighty: Innovations in confined spaces

At the University of Graz, Peter Banzer and his team (OpNaQ group) are controlling light in extremely confined spaces, enabling entirely new applications in physics, biology, and medicine. By precisely tailoring light fields at the nanometer scale, they can exert forces, extract information, and make hidden features visible.
