Cross sections (not to scale) of a novel reflective four-fiber optical tweezer analyzed by Bragheri F et al 2008: left panel - across the optical axis (the fiber core position is shown for the fiber #1), right panel - along the optical axis. Gray arrows denote the flow of the light power. [FB]
	A map of the escape energy per unit power of the incident light near the tip of the novel optical tweezer shown above (Bragheri F et al 2008). The position of a trapped particle is indicated by a black circle. Coordinate z represents the distance from the tip of the tweezer.

Topics in Particle and Dispersion Science (TPDSci) is an online publication (ISBN 0-9780628-0-9) intended to provide a concise and increasingly comprehensive review of interdisciplinary topics in the particle and particle dispersion science, with the emphasis on the most recent developments. It is extensively cross-referenced and can be accessed via several convenient threads:

• ‣ Literature survey - a survey of the recent publications on particles and dispersions (the left panel) in representative journals. These publications are referred to by the index and are intended to be discussed by the topical notes. Publications are reported as they come to the attention of the editor.
• ‣ Topics - a table of contents of the collection of topical notes and problems for classroom use.
• ‣ Index - an alphabetically-ordered hierarchical list of keywords linked to specific topical notes and references
• ‣ References - a list of relevant publications in over 270 journals. Many of these journals are monitored for the literature survey. Majority of the nearly 3000 citations are linked to Internet-based document sources (many documents are freely available), and contain periodically-verified links to the authors' webpages with contact info.
• ‣ Author/expert contact info - the References section contains, where possible, web-based contact info for authors of publications cited or indexed in TPDSci, experts in their respective fields.
• ‣ Dictionary - definitions, abbreviations, and acronyms used in this publication.

TPDSci accepts brief original contributions and contributions that review and comment on publications within the scope of TPDSci.
