TL;DR: Investigation of a mechanism by which metallic particles are attracted and trapped by plasmonic tweezers when surface plasmons are excited and focused by a radially polarized beam in a high-numerical-aperture microscopic configuration finds that it is the sum of both gradient and scattering forces acting in the same direction established by the strong coupling between the metallic particle and the highly focused plAsmonic field.

TL;DR: This systematic review showed that amifostine significantly reduce the serious mucositis, acute/late xerastomia and dysphagia without protection of the tumor in HNSCC patients treated with radiotherapy.

TL;DR: The proof-of-concept for surface plasmon resonance sensing and imaging via a virtual probe at the cell-substrate interface of a biological cell in aqueous media is demonstrated.

TL;DR: The nonlinear trapping demonstrated here on the example of plasmonic nanoparticles opens up opportunities for deterministic trapping and polarization-controlled manipulation of multiple dielectric and semiconductor particles, atoms, and biological objects since most of them exhibit a required intensity-dependent refractive index.

TL;DR: It is revealed that the plasmonic hybridization achieved by exciting plAsmonic tweezers with a linearly polarized laser beam could induce strong trapping forces and large rotational torques on a single metallic nanowire.
