Replacing the continuous-wave- with a pulsed-mode laser in optical trapping reveals novel phenomena, including the stable trap, modifiable trapping positions, and controllable directional ejections of particles on nanometre scales. This opens unprecedented opportunities in both fundamental science and application. Hiroshi Masuhara and his colleagues discuss in Science Progress the electromagnetic formulations and physical interpretations of these new phenomena. Their aim is to show the beauty and promise of this field.
