Tractor beams are all over science fiction movies, books, and TV shows. But, do they actually exist? And what is the science behind them?

which is a force that arises when there is a difference in pressure on opposite sides of a small gap. The difference in pressures can exert a force on an object in the vicinity of the gap.

Biomedical applications: Tractor beams could be used in medical applications to move small materials non-invasively, enabling more precise drug delivery and targeted therapies. Robotics: Robots could use Tractor beams to manipulate and control very small objects, allowing for more precise and efficient movements and actions of robots.

The magnitude of the optical pulling force must increase significantly for macroscopic objects. This means that the size and complexity of the equipment required to generate the beam may also become a limiting factor. Therefore, parameter choice is highly sensitive for both the equipment and the object being manipulated.showing that the high intensity of light required by optical tweezers can damage live biological specimens.
