While recent advances have shown that we can sense single atoms and molecules moving on the nanoscale using light or electronics, one of the huge blocks to making nano-machinery is how to make them move. Since we cannot wire them up to a base station, or use Wifi for such nanostructures, light is one of the most proposing ways to drive nano-machinery. In this talk I will show several new approaches that generate massively-amplified optical forces sufficient to move individual atoms, molecules, and nanoparticles. I will then discuss ways to harness these for creating autonomous nano-machinery, and what we might use them for.
