Optical Force Distribution (OPF) in a PC
The optical force acting on an elliptical object is a function of its position x p (calculated with the MST approach) In the case presented in Fig. 2a, b, the force F x acting on the object is given by $$langle bfF_rmELrangle dV$$$ (2). In this case, the manipulated object is subjected to a pulling force, which may counteract or even

Microplastics in the Environment
Microplastics have been found virtually everywhere, from the ocean depths to remote regions near Antarctica and even in human placentas. As their study published in Science Advances detailed, the researchers drilled sediment core samples from the bottom of three lakes. Lake Pinku and Usmas are located in glacier depressions, while Seksu is part of the capital city's drinking water system.

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet Retreated 7,000 Years Ago
Climate models run under high-emissions scenarios show less sea ice formation and deep ocean mixing. Changes in ocean temperature best explain the retreat of West Antarctica's ice sheet in the past. This could lead to the same cold-to-warm ocean switch that caused extensive sea retreat thousands of years ago.

Weight Loss Pills and Weight Loss Surgery
In a recent study, Kevin Hall looked at when weight loss typically stops depending on the method people were using to drop pounds. He broke down the plateau into mathematical models using data from high-quality clinical trials of different ways to lose weight to understand why people stop losing when they do. The study randomly assigned 238 adults to either two years of following a 25% calorie restriction diet or eating as they normally would. In order to achieve the weight loss reported in the study, people whose diets started at 2,500 calories per day had

How to Prevent Drought on Earth
The environment on Arrakis consists of bone-dry deserts with giant dunes, rocky cliffs and little sign of water. The climate is extreme, with scorching heat during the day and freezing temperatures at night. Introducing alien sandtrouts disrupted arrakis’ hydrological cycle. On Earth, wetlands are converted to deserts through desertification.
