COSMIC GLUE. "Personally I believe the innate property of magnetism in all matter will be proven as the catalyst holding the world together, one way or the other." https://lnkd.in/e32BTSM View in LinkedIn

BREAKTHROUGH. "A University of Dundee-based project to produce the first working acoustic tractor beam has been named one of the Breakthroughs of the Year for 2014 by Physics World, taking a place on the shortlist alongside the landing of the Philae probe onto a comet." https://lnkd.in/eG9zstT View in LinkedIn

MACROSCOPIC TRACTOR BEAM. "We report an experimental acoustic tractor beam generated by an ultrasonic array operating on macroscopic targets (>1 cm)." The most powerful tractor beam to date. (Dundee University, 2014). https://lnkd.in/eCda3-n View in LinkedIn

MACRO BEAM. "They were able to scale the tractor beam up to handle centimeter-size objects, about 6 orders of magnitude larger than those manipulated by previous schemes." https://lnkd.in/eYSRjM2 View in LinkedIn

MACRO BEAM. "Now, a step towards a device that works on macroscopic objects has been demonstrated by a group of researchers led by Michael MacDonald of the University of Dundee." https://lnkd.in/eYSRjM2 View in LinkedIn

FIRST PROTOTYPE TRACTOR BEAM. "But at the microscopic level, an optical tractor beam has indeed been demonstrated: researchers have developed special optical beams that can pull nanoparticles opposite to the propagation direction." (2012). https://lnkd.in/eZUFQuD View in LinkedIn

OPTICAL CONVEYOR. "The same methods used to project a single optical conveyor can project arrays of independent optical conveyors, allowing bidirectional transport in three dimensions."(2012). https://lnkd.in/ehevuXN View in LinkedIn

OPTICAL CONVEYOR. "Trapped objects can be moved selectively upstream or downstream along the conveyor by appropriately changing the Bessel beams' relative phase." https://lnkd.in/ehevuXN View in LinkedIn

TRACTOR BEAM. "We experimentally demonstrate a class of tractor beams created by coherently superposing coaxial Bessel beams. These optical conveyors have periodic intensity variations along their axes that act as highly effective optical traps for micrometer-scale objects." https://lnkd.in/ehevuXN View in LinkedIn

TUNABLE GUIDED WAVES. "Tunable bipolar optical interactions between guided lightwaves. Here we experimentally demonstrate a bipolar optical force between coupled nanomechanical waveguides. Both attractive and repulsive optical forces are obtained." (2009). https://lnkd.in/eWz8PbZ View in LinkedIn
