    AnnotationThe ever-growing field of microfluidics requires precise and flexible control over fluid flows at reduced scales. Current constraints demand a variety of controllable components to carry out several operations inside microchambers and microreactors. In this context, brand-new nanophotonic approaches can significantly enhance existing capabilities providing unique functionalities via finely tuned light-matter interactions. A concept is proposed, featuring dual on-chip functionality: boosted optically driven diffusion and nanoparticle sorting. High-index dielectric nanoantennae is specially designed to ensure strongly enhanced spin-orbit angular momentum transfer from a laser beam to the scattered field. Hence, subwavelength optical nanovortices emerge driving spiral motion of plasmonic nanoparticles via the interplay between curl-spin optical forces and radiation pressure. The nanovortex size is an order of magnitude smaller than that provided by conventional beam-based approaches. The nanoparticles mediate nanoconfined fluid motion enabling moving-part-free nanomixing inside a microchamber. Moreover, exploiting the nontrivial size dependence of the curled optical forces makes it possible to achieve precise nanoscale sorting of gold nanoparticles, demanded for on-chip separation and filtering. Altogether, a versatile platform is introduced for further miniaturization of moving-part-free, optically driven microfluidic chips for fast chemical analysis, emulsion preparation, or chemical gradient generation with light-controlled navigation of nanoparticles, viruses or biomolecules.
