Researchers have developed a system that generates water waves able to interfere accurately, forming three-dimensional structures that trap and manipulate particles. This advancement marks a potential breakthrough in the utilization of water waves, as little prior research had focused on their ability to play a manipulative role, similar to optical tweezers and sound waves. The ability to control particles through water waves could open new avenues in experimental science, showcasing a novel dimension in wave manipulation technology.
Scientists have now designed a system that generates water waves capable of precisely interfering with one another to create 3D structures for trapping particles.
The researchers believe their method could be the first application of optical- and acoustic-wave manipulation techniques adapted to a water-wave environment.
