Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have devised a new technology that allows the manipulation of small objects without having to touch them. The small objects are manipulated using sound ...

Tokyo, Japan - Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new technology which allows non-contact manipulation of small objects using sound waves. They used a hemispherical array ...

Futuristic it may seem, but the idea of using sound waves to levitate tiny objects is something we've seen demonstrated in a number of interesting ways. Scientists in Japan have now added another one ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have successfully enhanced technology to lift small particles using sound waves. Their “acoustic tweezers” could already lift things from ...

Researchers in Japan have successfully enhanced their ‘acoustic tweezers’ technology to lift small particles using sound waves, an advance that promises contactless control of small objects. Tokyo ...

Although their technique employs a method similar to laser trapping in biology, adaptable to a wider range of particle sizes and materials. The ability to move objects without touching them might ...
