We use optical and Raman Tweezers to manipulate micro and nano-plastics and individual cosmic dust particles. We identify their compositions and shapes studying their response to optical forces, proving a better understanding of the plastics fragmentation processes in sea environment and the effects of light on single grains of cosmic dust.

Abstract

We use optical and Raman Tweezers to manipulate micro and nano-plastics and individual cosmic dust particles. We identify their compositions and shapes studying their response to optical forces, proving a better understanding of the plastics fragmentation processes in sea environment and the effects of light on single grains of cosmic dust.
