Imagine a world where you can move objects reliably using speakers — literally. Using the latest advances in acoustic technology, scientists have developed a revolutionary technique to accurately manipulate objects with sound waves, even in chaotic environments. This breakthrough could transform fields from medicine to manufacturing, opening up important possibilities for precise, non-contact control over the microscopic and macroscopic alike. Optical tweezersIn 2018, they awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for something that sounds like science fiction. Arthur Ashkin was awarded the prize for…
