Scientists from Japan have presented a new method for manipulating objects at a distance. This is a “sound trap” – objects can be moved using sound waves.
Researchers at the University of Tokyo Metropolitan University have unveiled a new technology that allows small objects to be moved contactlessly using sound waves. They used a hemispherical array of ultrasonic transducers to create three-dimensional acoustic fields that held and lifted a small polystyrene ball from the surface. Although they used a method similar to a laser trap, it can be adapted to a wider range of particles and materials.
