Their &#8220;acoustic tweezers&#8221; could lift things from reflective surfaces without physical contact, but stability remained an issue. Now, using an adaptive algorithm to fine-tune how the tweezers are controlled, they have drastically improved how stably the particles can be lifted. With further miniaturization, this technology could be deployed in a vast range of environments, including space.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-08-scientists-fine-tune-tweezers-contactless.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Scientists fine-tune &#8216;tweezers of sound&#8217; for contactless manipulation of objects<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have successfully enhanced technology to lift small particles using sound waves.
