Weak Signal's description: 

Scientists observed and experimentally verified a micrometer-scale object being lifted by a beam of laser light. Optical lifting may be useful for improving the design of solar sails for interstellar space travel. The scientists described the findings as “almost like the first stages of what the Wright brothers did”.
