You mean, like arrays of microscale acoustic generators? Maybe if the wavelength was small enough, one could manipulate singular molecules with nanometer precision? 3Ghz ultrasound at sea level has a wavelength of about 150 nm.
Perhaps the endgame of this would be a phased array that can generate phonons with extreme accuracy.
- traverseda 7y agoI mean remember that the way these things work is by manipulating air molecules. Manipulating single-molecules is going to be difficult since you're always going to be at the mercy of your carrier fluid/gas.
