For the first time, scientists have captured how new antiviral drugs halt the herpes virus in real time as it tries to replicate.

Researchers use cryo-EM and optical tweezers to investigate how an antiviral interacts with the herpes simplex virus.

Columbia researchers Sebastian Will and Nanfang Yu combine optical tweezers with metasurfaces to trap over 1,000 atoms—with the potential to capture hundreds of thousands more.

Light can be sculpted into countless shapes. Yet building optical devices that can simultaneously manipulate many different ...
