Liposomes serve as versatile platforms for drug delivery, nanocontainers, and membrane mimics. We have combined optical trapping and thermal forces in order to achieve rapid liposome migration with low laser power, with migration speeds of 1.77 µm/s for liposomes of 1 µm in diameter. This method can offer new potential for targeted therapy and drug delivery.
