Fox News reported US Vice President Vance said there is no evidence that Iran is closing the Strait of Hormuz.

Researchers at Anhui University and the University of Science and Technology of China used a femtosecond-laser composite manufacturing process for fiber-integrated devices to fabricate a three-dimensional microtweezer on the tip of a commercial optical fiber, published in Nature. The device delivers output forces more than 100,000 times those of conventional optical tweezers and enables high-precision, low-damage, programmable 3D manipulation of micron-scale targets, precise assembly of complex microstructures, single-cell manipulation and micro-sampling inside ~100-micron confined spaces. Authors cite application relevance for micro-manipulation, microsystems assembly, life-science handling and minimally invasive medical procedures.
