In a very short but intriguing article, Technology Research News (TRN) writes that researchers from Harvard University and New York University have found a way to use holographic optical traps (HOTs) to manipulate semiconductor nanowires. As this holographic approach to nano-assembly can allow for simultaneous independent manipulation of multiple nanowires, this could open the way for new forms of optical and electronic devices like fast, high-capacity computer memory chips. Read more to discover more details and references about this exciting fusion between two very different fields of research.
