1. Acoustic Hologram Tractor Beam
UK researchers have developed a sonic tractor beam that generates acoustic holograms via the manipulation of high-amplitude sound waves. These acoustic holograms, which can take various shapes, are capable of picking up and moving small objects, such as polystyrene beads. The system that uses an array of 64 tiny loudspeakers to generate high-pitched, high-intensity sound waves that act as a force field to hold an object in place. It then becomes possible to move or rotate the objects by controlling the output of the loudspeakers.
