Abstract :
We present the first experimental demonstration of microwave electromagnetic trapping and manipulation of neutral particles using a full three-dimensional (3D) negative-refraction flat lens. Two most novel techniques, negative-refraction flat lens and electromagnetic tweezers, are appropriately combined in this configuration.
