According to Physics World, scientists have developed a contactless technique for rotating and positioning delicate biological samples using focused laser beams. By exploiting laser-driven flows in the fluid around the sample, researchers can capture high-resolution 3D images of living cells and other fragile structures without any physical contact—eliminating damage and contamination risks. The method promises new capabilities for biological imaging and medical diagnostics.
