Realizing microrheological response of configurable viscoelastic media with a dynamic optical trap (opens in new tab)

arXiv:2603.07100v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The local viscoelastic (VE) environment governs the motion of an embedded microsphere and consequently, pertinent dynamical phenomena. However, studying such phenomena with varying VE properties remains challenging for various reasons, including the strong coupling among the VE parameters and their dependence on experimental conditions, such as temperature. Here, we demonstrate the experimental realization of configurable VE media with broad va...
