pubmed:abstractText
Dielectrophoresis is an electronic analogue1,2 of optical tweezers3 based on the same physical principle: an ac electric field induces a dipole moment on an object in solution, which then experiences a force proportional to the gradient of the field intensity. For both types of tweezers, this force must compete with thermal Brownian4 motion to be effective, which becomes increasingly difficult as the particle size approaches the nanometer scale. Here we show that this restriction can be overcome by using the large electric field gradient in the vicinity of a carbon nanotube to electronically manipulate nanoparticles down to 2 nm in diameter.
