Researchers use ultrasonic waves to move objects hands-free

By placing a metamaterial pattern on the surface of an object, researchers at the University of Minnesota were able to use sound to steer it in a certain direction without physically touching it. Credits: Olivia Hultgren Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have discovered a new method for moving objects using ultrasonic waves. …
