DESCRIPTION:Arthur Ashkin was co-recipient of the Nobel prize in 2018 for h
 is work on optical tweezers\; however\, those conventional optical tweezer
 s are limited to objects that are &gt;100 nm in size. This talk will review o
 ur work on nanoaperture optical tweezers that can trap particles down to t
 he single-digit nanometer size\, including proteins. I will describe how t
 o measure the low-frequency Raman modes of these particles (including prot
 eins and DNA fragments) with the high spectral resolution\, as well as the
  THz dynamics of nanoparticles. I will emphasize recent developments in na
 nofabrication and some exciting biophysical problems we are studying.\n\nC
