In laboratories from Brazil to Munich, researchers are learning to grab matter with sound alone, sculpting ultrasonic waves into invisible “hands” that can lift, push, and rotate objects without a ...

The metamaterial created by Zhang is used to push and rotate an object adorned with the University of Wisconsin’s Bucky the Badger. NEW ORLEANS, May 20, 2025 – Sound can do more than just provide a ...

Physically, sound is just pressure moving through a medium. If you harness that pressure correctly, you can actually push things around using nothing but sound. That's exactly what researchers at ...

Using this model of a 1D material, researchers demonstrate a new way to remotely change a material's stiffness using sound waves. A team of researchers co-led by the University of California San Diego ...

An international team of scientists has developed a new analysis of how sound waves behave, revealing surprising effects that have largely been overlooked for decades. In the new paper in Scientific ...

Researchers demonstrate acoustic wave control of mechanical kinks in topological metamaterials, enabling remote manipulation with potential for nanoscale applications. (Nanowerk News) A team of ...
