Scientists move objects with sound, pave way for noninvasive drug delivery | The new sound-based method can move objects regardless of their surroundings or physical properties.


Researchers have developed a method for manipulating objects using sound waves, opening new avenues for drug delivery.

They directed floating objects around obstacles in an aquatic environment, unveiling new possibilities for noninvasive, targeted drug delivery and other biomedical applications. According to the study published in the Nature, the method does not require information about the object’s physical properties or the spatial structure of the surrounding medium but relies only on a real-time scattering matrix measurement and a positional guide-star. This method could potentially revolutionize biological analysis or tissue engineering applications where physically manipulating cells would cause damage or contamination.
