Scientists develop incredible new method that could revolutionize how we contain oil spills: 'Never been done before'

Scientists have discovered a way to use sound waves to create specific patterns on water that can move and trap floating objects, reported IEEE Spectrum. This breakthrough could change how we clean up oil spills and other water pollutants. By making precise wave patterns, researchers can control the movement of floating objects as small as a rice grain or as large as a ping-pong ball, acting like "invisible tweezers" that could someday corral an…
