Abstract
A nanotweezer including an anapole nanoantenna having a double nanohole formed through a central region of the anapole nanoantenna, a spacer layer positioned between the anapole nanoantenna and a reflector layer, and a light source configured to illuminate the reflector layer. Upon illumination of the reflector layer by the light source, an optical gradient force is generated at the double nanohole.
