Microscopic movement of microscopic particles

British scientists have found for the first time the ability to use ultrasound to capture or move certain micro particles in the body.

In fact, they have created an invisible 'ultrasonic' arm that can move tiny objects, such as cells under the microscope. This ability will create new ways to study cells, enabling biologists and medicine to perform various subtle tasks, such as classifying or assembling cells within a plant. tissue, regenerative medicine.

Researcher Charles Courtney at Bath University explains that it is possible to perform complex manipulations with microscopic particles using a relatively compact device placed on the table with a standard microscope.

The discovery opens up great prospects for dramatically improving results in biology labs where accurate placement of cells is a useful research tool.

Scientists at the University of Bristol also say that this is a major breakthrough in moving microscopic objects, such as cells under the microscope. "Ultrasound arms" can connect and move tiny cells without harming them. This technology has many areas of application.
