  • Abstract
    We demonstrate symbiotic dynamics of light and nano-particles suspended in liquid. Light-force varies the local particle density, modifies the fluid properties (surface-tension, viscosity), inducing flow patterns in the fluid, causing synergetic nonlinear-dynamics of light and fluid.
