Controlling Ultrasound with 3-D Printed Devices

Tuesday, October 25, 2016 - 11:01 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers have 3-D printed a new kind of device that can harness high-pressure ultrasound to move, manipulate, or destroy tiny objects like particles, drops or biological tissue at scales comparable with cells. By providing unprecedented control of photoacoustic waves, such a device can be helpful for performing precise surgery, analyzing the properties of materials, and for scientific research in the lab. They discuss their work in this week's Applied Physics Letters.
