Moved by light - as if by magic (Nanowerk News) A few months ago Münster scientists showed that certain molecules – so-called nano-containers – can be guided by light alone. This study has now been singled out for special praise – according to the journal Optics and Photonics News (pdf) it is among the 30 best pieces of work done in 2010. In a special issue published at the end of the year the journal – an international opinion-former – traditionally looks back on the research highlights of the past year in the fields of optics and photonics. The Münster study, which involved scientists working with Prof. Cornelia Denz (physics) and Prof. Luisa De Cola (chemistry), even made it on to the front page of the special issue, which was a particular honour.

nano-containers guided by light Münster scientists have shown that so-called nano-containers – shown here – can be guided by light alone. "We're delighted that the hierarchical arrangement of molecules by means of light has received such
