Lecture
This lecture explores the advancements in acoustic manipulation technology, focusing on the transition from optical tweezers to acoustical tweezers. The limitations of optical tweezers in life sciences are discussed, leading to the introduction of acoustical tweezers as a non-invasive, biocompatible alternative. The design and capabilities of selective, 3D acoustical tweezers using active holograms are presented, showcasing their efficiency in trapping and organizing cells. The lecture also delves into the potential of multiple particles assembly, 3D manipulation, and ultra-high frequency acoustic tweezers, culminating in a discussion on acoustic quantum analogues.
