  • Abstract
    We show that light can manipulate the mechanical properties of fluids and affect flow even in dense suspensions. The underlying mechanism involves the forces exerted by the light on nanoparticles suspended in the liquid. We discuss these ideas, present experiments, and suggest applications.
