Windmill droplets: optically induced rotation of biphasic oil-in-water droplets

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We report dissipative rotation of oil-in-water biphasic droplets in optical tweezers. Rotation speed can be controlled by the laser power. Untrapped droplets can also be rotated indirectly.
