A new technique is introduced to perform nanosurgery in living cells using a laser multi-nanoscapel. Irradiating
plasmonics nanostructures by an ultrafast laser beam produces highly localised processes on the nanoscale in the
biological surrounding medium, yielding to the nanosurgery of cells. These nanoparticles could be functionalised
to target specific biological entities, thus performing multiple targeted surgeries on the nanoscale. As an example, the
laser multi-nanoscapel was employed to perform gene transfection in living cell with an optoporation efficiency as high
as 70%. Complete physical model was developed to determine the basic mechanism underlying this new nanosurgery
process. Our laser multi-nanoscapel shows promises as an innovative tool for fundamental research in biology and
medicine as well as an efficient alternative nanosurgery technology that could be adapted to therapeutic tools in the
clinic.
