In a major breakthrough, scientists at the Universities of Bath and Bristol have successfully used sound to control ink droplets and print precise patterns. A paper on the new printing technique, named Sonolithography, has been published in Advanced Materials Technologies journal. "The power of ultrasound has already been shown to levitate small particles. We are excited to have hugely expanded the range of applications by patterning dense clouds of material in air at scale and being able to algorithmically control how the material settles into shapes," explainsd Professor Mike Fraser from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bath.

The researchers believe their work has the potential to change printing , especially in the fields of medicine and electronics, by increasing speed while reducing cost. "The objects we are manipulating are the size of water drops in clouds. It's incredibly exciting to be able to move… Read full this story
