Abstract
In this study, a novel method is proposed for low-power trapping of nanoparticles that employs resonant bowtie nano-antennas, which generate high temperature gradients upon laser illumination. The approach involves the integration of the depletion attraction force and the near-field optical gradient force, which results in highly efficient trapping of small extracellular vesicles (EVs) and 100nm polystyrene beads with low power consumption (less than 5mW). Additionally, we demonstrate that rapid transport can be achieved in less than 10 seconds, facilitated by the long-range nature of the depletion attraction force.
