Currently being developed at the University of Michigan, the experimental technology is known as SAWSense, with SAW standing for "surface acoustic waves." Hardware-wise, ...

The acoustic tweezers are about the size of a dime. The device is based on a piezoelectric material that converts vibrations into standing surface acoustic waves called SAWS.

In this case, the researchers applied an alternating current to the substrate so that the material's movement creates a standing surface acoustic wave in the solution. A standing wave has node ...

Researchers propose a novel system that uses standing surface acoustic waves to separate circulating tumor cells from red blood cells with unprecedented precision and efficiency. The platform ...

In Physics of Fluids, by AIP Publishing, a pair of researchers at the K. N. Toosi University of Technology in Tehran, Iran, proposed a novel system that uses standing surface acoustic waves to ...

With the application of SSAW (standing surface acoustic waves) at 19.28 MHz and 1-2W, the acoustic radiation force was large enough to overcome the drag and guide the motile sperm to swim across ...

Magnetization control by angular momentum transfer from surface acoustic wave to ferromagnetic spin moments. Nature Communications , 2021; 12 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-22728-6 Cite This Page : ...

These acoustic waves, akin to the surface waves produced during an earthquake, travel across the chip at frequencies nearly a billion times higher than those found in earth tremors.

"In the last 10 years, surface acoustic waves have emerged as a good resource for quantum applications because the phonon, or individual particle of sound, couples very well to different systems ...
