Physicists have found a highly efficient way to transfer angular momentum from a light beam to a tiny cylindrical object, causing it to spin in a way that could be used as a motor, such as pump in a microfluidic circuit. By using resonant enhancement, the new device has drastically improved on previous approaches, achieving efficiency levels that surprised even its creators. “We compared our result to a theoretically...
