Acoustofluidics integrates acoustic forces with microscale fluid dynamics to enable the contactless manipulation and precise control of particles, cells and complex structures. By harnessing sound ...

Finding could have applications in acoustic-levitation-assisted 3D printing, mid-air chemical synthesis and micro-robotics ...

Acoustic manipulation uses sound waves to control microscopic objects in fluids and offers a non-invasive, precise, and biocompatible approach for biomedical applications. However, most studies have ...

How piezoelectric materials are used to create a defined acoustic field. How this field, in turn, is used to develop modulate an electric field. How the combined acoustic and electric fields can ...
