Engineering tunable fractional Shapiro steps in colloidal transport - Nature Communications Shapiro steps are quantized plateaus in the velocity-force curve of a driven system, where velocity remains constant despite increasing the force. Previously, integer steps have been observed for micr...

Driving a #colloidal particle through a time-modulated, non-sinusoidal optical landscape, the authors report emergence of fractional Shapiro steps and uncover their microscopic mechanisms, enabling precise control through #optical potential design @natcomms.nature.com
