Using the design principles of the kirigami, the ancient art of folding and cutting paper, researchers at the North Carolina State University in the US have developed technology that can move fragile ...

Researchers have succeeded in directing floating objects around an aquatic obstacle course using only soundwaves. Their novel, optics-inspired method holds great promise for biomedical applications ...

Over the past several decades, scientists have developed optical and acoustic tweezers. Using light or sound waves, they can lift and control the motion of a small object, like a tiny tractor beam.
