Dr Suren Vasilyan | Measuring Microscopic Forces with Extreme Precision using Laser Beams

About this episode

When measuring microscopic forces, even the slightest lack of precision can lead to significant measurement errors. By harnessing the momentum carried by particles of light, Dr Suren Vasilyan, Dr Norbert Rogge, and Professor Thomas Fröhlich at Ilmenau University of Technology show how these forces can be measured with the highest level of precision and accuracy.
