Optical Tweezers and Applications is a physics simulation model. It was made in Java, so it can be run on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Some web browsers can open the simulation with no installation necessary. This tool deals with the concepts of DNA, light, and more specifically with how light can influence a microscopic particle. Most simulations by the Department of Physics at University of Colorado have teaching guides that usually help me understand what the simulations are about, and they illustrate the concepts dealt with in details. This one, however, doesn't have a guide. So I had to do a lot of assuming when I tested.
