	abstract = {We have developed a new force measurement technique based on the random thermal motion of a nanoparticle in an optical trap. We demonstrate this method, in one-dimension, through numerical simulations and laboratory experiments. We show that computer simulations successfully recover the profile of the optical trapping force, beyond the inflection point of the trapping potential for a range of particle sizes. We show, through laboratory experiments, that this technique is effective in recovering higher order terms, in a power series expansion of the trapping force, beyond the widely reported linear trap stiffness. We also show that the first order (stiffness) term in our series expansion is consistent with values reported in the literature.},

	abstract = {Plankton use solar energy to drive the nutrient cycles that make the planet habitable for larger organisms. We can now explore the diversity and functions of plankton using genomics, revealing the gene repertoires associated with survival in the oceans. Such studies will help us to appreciate the sensitivity of ocean systems and of the ocean{\textquoteright}s response to climate change, improving the predictive power of climate models.},

	abstract = {Over the last several years various industries have been developing nano, micro, and millimeter scale technologies, which have resulted in components ranging from quantum transistors, to widely commercialized integrated circuits, to microelectromechanical sensors. A common emphasis of these fabrication industries has been on the integration of different functions in miniaturized systems; however, the technology currently used to realize these systems is monolithic. A unique class of hybrid technology systems is Integrated nano to millimeter (In2m) systems. An In2m system typically has components spanning multiple sizes, diverse technology domains, and mixtures of electrical, mechanical, thermal, chemical, fluidic, and biological functions},
