New ‘invisible tweezers’ can make robot surgery non-invasive | The method uses acoustic emitters to create 3D vortex fields, acting like invisible tweezers to traverse bone and tissue.
This innovative fusion of robotics and noninvasive acoustics promises to revolutionize surgery and other medical procedures.
This field, similar to a focused ultrasound beam but with a hollow center, has the potential to penetrate through solid barriers such as the skull, owing to its 1 MHz frequency. Beyond surgical interventions, the integration of acoustic energy emitters with robotic platforms holds immense potential across a spectrum of disciplines, from engineering to biology and chemistry research. Tian imagines a future where these technologies facilitate contactless handling of hazardous reagents, orchestration of self-assembling colloidal materials, and precise arrangement of nanomaterials for composite fabrication.
