Single-particle coherent diffractive x-ray imaging requires the production of many diffraction patterns from reproducible particles to build up a 3D molecular image. In this project, the candidate will develop a manipulation toolbox to trap nanoparticles and individual biological systems (proteins, viruses, etc.) to efficiently guide identical particles to the interaction point in diffraction experiments. That is, the project will develop a “tractor beam” based on appropriately shaped electromagnetic fields.
