Abstract
Optical meron is a type of nonplanar topological texture mainly observed in surface plasmon polaritons and highly symmetric points of photonic crystals in the reciprocal space. Here, we report Poynting-vector merons formed at the real space of a photonic crystal for a Γ-point illumination. Optical merons can be utilized for subwavelength-resolution manipulation of nanoparticles, resembling a topological Hall effect on electrons via magnetic merons. In particular, staggered merons and antimerons impose strong radiation pressure on large gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), while focused hot spots in antimerons generate dominant optical gradient forces on small AuNPs. Synergistically, differently sized AuNPs in a still environment can be trapped or orbit in opposite directions, mimicking a coupled galaxy system. They can also be separated with a 10 nm precision when applying a flow velocity of >1 mm/s. Our study unravels a novel way to exploit topological textures for optical manipulation with deep-subwavelength precision and switchable topology in a lossless environment.

Abstract
Optical trapping has proven to be an efficient method to control particles, including biological cells, single biological macromolecules, colloidal microparticles, and nanoparticles. Multiple types of particles have been successfully trapped, leading to various applications of optical tweezers ranging from biomedical through physics to material sciences. However, precise manipulation of particles with complex composition or of sizes down to nanometer-scales can be difficult with conventional optical tweezers, and an alternative manipulation tool is desirable. Optical nanofibers, that is, fibers with a waist diameter smaller than the propagating wavelength of light, are ideal candidates for optical manipulation due to their large evanescent field that extends beyond the fiber surface. They have the added advantages of being easily connected to a fibered experimental setup, being simple to fabricate, and providing strong electric field confinement and intense magnitude of evanescent fields at the nanofiber's surface. Many different particles have been trapped, rotated, transported, and assembled with such a system. This article reviews particle trapping using optical nanofibers and highlights some challenges and future potentials of this developing topic.

Abstract
The resonance between an electronic transition of a micro/nanoscale object and an incident photon flux can modify the radiation force exerted on that object, especially at an interface. It has been theoretically proposed that a non-linear stimulated emission process can also induce an optical force, however its direction will be opposite to conventional photon scattering/absorption processes. In this work, we experimentally and theoretically demonstrate that a stimulated emission process can induce a repulsive pulling optical force on a single trapped dye-doped particle. Moreover, we successfully integrate both attractive pushing (excited state absorption) and repulsive pulling (stimulated emission) resonance forces to control the overall exerted optical force on an object, validating the proposed non-linear optical resonance theory. Indeed, the results presented here will enable the optical manipulation of the exerted optical force with exquisite control and ultimately enable single particle manipulation.

Abstract
Recent interest in particle sorting using optical forces has grown due to its ability to separate micro- and nanomaterials based on their optical properties. Here, we present a mid-infrared optical force manipulation technique that enables precise sorting of microspheres based on their molecular vibrational properties using a mid-infrared quantum cascade laser. Utilizing the optical pushing force driven by a 9.3 μm mid-infrared evanescent field generated on a prism through total internal reflection, a variety of microspheres, including those composed of Si-O-Si bonds, can be separated in accordance with their absorbance values at 9.3 μm. The experimental results are in good agreement with the optical force calculations using finite-difference time-domain simulation. Thus, each microsphere's displacement and velocity can be predicted from the absorbance value; conversely, the optical properties (e.g., absorbance and complex refractive index in the mid-infrared region) of individual microspheres can be estimated by monitoring their velocity.

Abstract
Small composite objects, known as Janus particles, drive sustained scientific interest primarily targeted at biomedical applications, where such objects act as micro- or nanoscale actuators, carriers, or imaging agents. A major practical challenge is to develop effective methods for the manipulation of Janus particles. The available long-range methods mostly rely on chemical reactions or thermal gradients, therefore having limited precision and strong dependency on the content and properties of the carrier fluid. To tackle these limitations, we propose the manipulation of Janus particles (here, silica microspheres half-coated with gold) by optical forces in the evanescent field of an optical nanofiber. We find that Janus particles exhibit strong transverse localization on the nanofiber and much faster propulsion compared to all-dielectric particles of the same size. These results establish the effectiveness of near-field geometries for optical manipulation of composite particles, where new waveguide-based or plasmonic solutions could be envisaged.

Abstract
Microplastic pollution is causing a stir globally due to its persistent and ubiquitous nature. The scientific collaboration is diligently working on improved, effective, sustainable, and cleaner measures to control the nano/microplastic load in the environment especially wrecking the aquatic habitat. This chapter discusses the challenges encountered in nano/microplastic control and improved technologies like density separation, continuous flow centrifugation, oil extraction protocol, electrostatic separation to extract and quantify the same. Although it is still in the early stages of research, biobased control measures, like meal worms and microbes to degrade microplastics in the environment have been proven effective. Besides the control measures, practical alternatives to microplastics can be developed like core-shell powder, mineral powder, and biobased food packaging systems like edible films and coatings developed using various nanotechnological tools. Lastly, the existing and ideal stage of global regulations is compared, and key research areas are pinpointed. This holistic coverage would enable manufacturers and consumers to reconsider their production and purchase decisions for sustainable development goals.

Abstract
The accurate and rapid diagnosis of viral diseases has garnered increasing attention in the field of biosensors. The development of highly sensitive, selective, and accessible biosensors is crucial for early disease detection and preventing mortality. However, developing biosensors optimized for viral disease diagnosis has several limitations, including the accurate detection of mutations. For decades, nanotechnology has been applied in numerous biological fields such as biosensors, bioelectronics, and regenerative medicine. Nanotechnology offers a promising strategy to address the current limitations of conventional viral nucleic acid-based biosensors. The implementation of nanotechnologies, such as functional nanomaterials, nanoplatform-fabrication techniques, and surface nanoengineering, to biosensors has not only improved the performance of biosensors but has also expanded the range of sensing targets. Therefore, a deep understanding of the combination of nanotechnologies and biosensors is required to prepare for sanitary emergencies such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic. In this review, we provide interdisciplinary information on nanotechnology-assisted biosensors. First, representative nanotechnologies for biosensors are discussed, after which this review summarizes various nanotechnology-assisted viral nucleic acid biosensors. Therefore, we expect that this review will provide a valuable basis for the development of novel viral nucleic acid biosensors.

Abstract
Optical manipulation has achieved great success in the fields of biology, micro/nano robotics and physical sciences in the past few decades. To date, the optical manipulation is still witnessing substantial progress powered by the growing accessibility of the complex light field, advanced nanofabrication and developed understandings of light-matter interactions. In this perspective, we highlight recent advancements of optical micro/nanomanipulations in cutting-edge applications, which can be fostered by structured optical forces enabled with diverse auxiliary multiphysical field/forces and structured particles.

Abstract
Compared with manipulation of microparticles with optical tweezers and control of atomic motion with atom cooling, the manipulation of nanoscale objects is challenging because light exerts a significantly weaker force on nanoparticles than on microparticles. The complex interaction of nanoparticles with the environmental solvent media adds to this challenge. In recent years, optical manipulation using electronic resonance effects has garnered interest because it has enabled researchers to enhance the force as well as sort nanoparticles by their quantum mechanical properties. Especially, a precise observation of the motion of nanoparticles irradiated by resonant light enables the precise measurement of the material parameters of single nanoparticles. Conventional spectroscopic methods of measurement are based on indirect processes involving energy dissipation, such as thermal dissipation and light scattering. This study proposes a theoretical method to measure the nonlinear optical constant based on the optical force. The nonlinear susceptibility of single nanoparticles can be directly measured by evaluating the transportation distance of particles through pure momentum exchange. We extrapolate an experimentally verified method of measuring the linear absorption coefficient of single nanoparticles by the optical force to determine the nonlinear absorption coefficient. To this end, we simulate the third-order nonlinear susceptibility of the target particles with the kinetic analysis of nanoparticles at the solid-liquid interface incorporating the Brownian motion. The results show that optical manipulation can be used as nonlinear optical spectroscopy utilizing direct exchange of momentum. To the best of our knowledge, this is currently the only way to measure the nonlinear coefficient of individual single nanoparticles.

Abstract
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are at the forefront of many technological breakthroughs in science and engineering. The extensive use of ENMs in several consumer products has resulted in their release to the aquatic environment. ENMs entering the aquatic ecosystem undergo a dynamic transformation as they interact with organic and inorganic constituents present in aquatic environment, specifically abiotic factors such as NOM and clay minerals, and attain an environmental identity. Thus, a greater understanding of ENM-abiotic factors interactions is required for an improved risk assessment and sustainable management of ENMs contamination in the aquatic environment. This review integrates fundamental aspects of ENMs transformation in aquatic environment as impacted by abiotic factors, and delineates the recent advances in bioavailability and ecotoxicity of ENMs in relation to risk assessment for ENMs-contaminated aquatic ecosystem. It specifically discusses the mechanism of transformation of different ENMs (metals, metal oxides and carbon based nanomaterials) following their interaction with the two most common abiotic factors NOM and clay minerals present within the aquatic ecosystem. The review critically discusses the impact of these mechanisms on the altered ecotoxicity of ENMs including the impact of such transformation at the genomic level. Finally, it identifies the gaps in our current understanding of the role of abiotic factors on the transformation of ENMs and paves the way for the future research areas.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing-also known as 3D printing-has attracted much attention in recent years as a powerful method for the simple and versatile fabrication of complicated three-dimensional structures. However, the current technology still exhibits a limitation in realizing the selective deposition and sorting of various materials contained in the same reservoir, which can contribute significantly to additive printing or manufacturing by enabling simultaneous sorting and deposition of different substances through a single nozzle. Here, we propose a dielectrophoresis (DEP)-based material-selective deposition and sorting technique using a pipette-based quartz tuning fork (QTF)-atomic force microscope (AFM) platform DEPQA and demonstrate multi-material sorting through a single nozzle in ambient conditions. We used Au and silica nanoparticles for sorting and obtained 95% accuracy for spatial separation, which confirmed the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). To validate the scheme, we also performed a simulation for the system and found qualitative agreement with the experimental results. The method that combines DEP, pipette-based AFM, and SERS may widely expand the unique capabilities of 3D printing and nano-micro patterning for multi-material patterning, materials sorting, and diverse advanced applications.

Abstract
Optical manipulation, exemplified by Ashkin's optical tweezers, is a promising technique in the fields of bioscience and chemistry, as it enables the non-destructive and non-contact selective transport or manipulation of small particles. To realize the separation of chiral molecules, several researchers have reported on the use of light and discussed feasibility of selection. Although the separation of micrometer-sized chiral molecules has been experimentally demonstrated, the separation of nanometer-sized chiral molecules, which are considerably smaller than the wavelength of light, remains challenging. Therefore, we formulated an optical force under electronic resonance to enhance the optical force and enable selective manipulation. In particular, we incorporated the microscopic structures of molecular dipoles into the nonlocal optical response theory. The analytical expression of optical force could clarify the mechanism of selection exertion of the resonant optical force on chiral molecules. Furthermore, we quantitatively evaluated the light intensity and light exposure time required to separate a single molecule in a solvent. The results can facilitate the design of future schemes for the selective optical manipulation of chiral molecules.

Abstract
A challenge in plasmonic trapping of small nanoparticles is the heating due to the Joule effect of metallic components. This heating can be avoided with electromagnetic field confinement in high-refractive-index materials, but nanoparticle trapping is difficult because the electromagnetic fields are mostly confined inside the dielectric nanostructures. Herein, we present the design of an all-dielectric platform to capture small dielectric nanoparticles without heating the nanostructure. It consists of a Si nanodisk engineered to exhibit the second-order anapole mode at the infrared regime (λ=980 nm), where Si has negligible losses, with a slot at the center. A strong electromagnetic hot spot is created, thus allowing us to capture nanoparticles as small as 20 nm. The numerical calculations indicate that optical trapping in these all-dielectric nanostructures occurs without heating only in the infrared, since for visible wavelengths the heating levels are similar to those in plasmonic nanostructures.
