tractor beam, MIT
Finally our childhood dreams of a working tractor beam are coming to fruition! It’s called acoustic levitation and it actually uses highly concentrated sound waves to float small objects by ...
This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of ...
Tractor beams have hit the big time. A newly constructed device generates a beam of concentrated sound that, for the first time, exerts a continuous, perceptible tug on objects large enough to see ...
Oct. 3, 2024 — A chip-based 'tractor beam' can trap and manipulate biological particles using a tightly focused beam of light emitted from a silicon-photonics chip. The device could help ...
The tractor beam was able to move a hollow triangular object forward 1cm This was done with a device that exerted pressure using sound waves Device could have applications in treating cancer and ...
It is a device that transports objects far away in space by irradiating them with a beam. In fiction, tractor beams are sometimes used to capture enemy spacecraft or recover destroyed materials.
Don’t blame us for the click-baity titles in the source articles about this handheld “acoustic tractor beam”. You can see why the popular press tarted this one up a bit, even at the risk of ...
