The renowned Journal "Optics & Photonics News" selected a publication of the Team of Prof. Cornelia Denz into the worldwide list of the 30 best publications in the year 2018. The Journal traditionally highlights these publications from optics and photonics in a special edition in December. An expert jury reviewed a total of 113 international studies from the past twelve months selecting the best and most influential contributions. In the last year, the Nonlinear Photonics group of the University of Münster joined the list with two publications. The past year's highlighted publication, the discovery of Dr. Robert Meissner and Dr. Neus Oliver from the "Nonlinear Photonics" team is honoured. They used nobel-awarded optical tweezers for trapping of cylinder-like nanocontainer crystals. Optical tweezers are focused laser beams that allow to grab, fix and move microand nanoscale objects just by light, without physically touching them.
