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 ...

The dexterous control this device could give researchers tinkering with organisms in microchip-sized laboratories could potentially lead to a wide range of medical insights, the inventors proposed.

Tokyo, Japan - Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new technology which allows non-contact manipulation of small objects using sound waves. They used a hemispherical array ...

A team of researchers from Carnegie Mellon, MIT and Penn State University have developed a different kind of tweezers, one that can move single cells around without damaging them. That's because these ...

(Nanowerk News) Pioneering ‘tweezers’ that use ultrasound beams to grip and manipulate tiny clusters of cells under electronic, push-button control could lead to life-changing medical advances, such ...

Technique could enable 3-D printing of cellular structures for tissue engineering Engineers at MIT, Penn State University, and Carnegie Mellon University have devised a way to manipulate cells in ...

Researchers from Penn State University have found a way to precisely manipulate tiny objects using sound rather than optical instruments with a quick, energy-effective and technologically-simple ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have successfully enhanced technology to lift small particles using sound waves. Their “acoustic tweezers” could already lift things from ...
