Electrical engineering professor Dan Smalley and a team of engineering students are making science fiction a reality through their work with particles and lasers. The team has managed to manipulate a single particle and laser beam in a contained volume to produce animated images. The group of researchers use the movement of the particle illuminated by the laser beam to create scenes found in sci-fi films, like Star Trek laser beams and Star Wars lightsabers. They even created a stick figure man that walked on a student’s finger.
