Abstract
We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally gradient-force induced, nanoparticle shock-waves forming in dense strongly scattering colloidal-suspensions. These light-induced directional 'spear-shaped' wavefronts allow concentrating and transporting large amounts of nanoparticles in local regions of a microfluidic channel.
