Optical sculpture: controlled deformation of emulsion droplets with ultralow interfacial tensions using optical tweezers.
We report a technique for deforming micron-sized emulsion droplets that have ultralow interfacial tensions, by the manipulation of multiple optical trapping sites within the droplets.
