“Telekinesis” of bacteria with a view on targeted cancer therapy
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-38814- Acoustic tweezers can control target movement through the interaction of momentum between an acoustic wave and an object. Due to their high tissue penetrability and strong acoustic radiation force, such tweezers overcome the limitations of optical and magnetic tweezers, thus making them suitable for in-vivo cell manipulation. A research team led by Prof. ZHENG Hairong […]
