Researchers manipulated water waves to move ping pong balls with a level of precision that seems straight out of a sci-fi movie. Reading time 3 minutes Imagine hopping onto a large floatie in a lake ...
YALE / BROWN (US) — A scientist’s breakfast sparked new research into how floating objects—like pieces of cereal and tiny colloidal particles—form patterns. Andong He, a postdoctoral student at Yale ...
Researchers have succeeded in directing floating objects around an aquatic obstacle course using only soundwaves. Their novel, optics-inspired method holds great promise for biomedical applications ...
A hexagon-shaped plastic structure was used to generate waves that merged to form complex patterns on the water surface in a tank for an experiment co-led by Nanyang Technological University, ...
A team of international scientists co-led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have discovered a way to manipulate water waves, allowing them to trap and precisely move ...
