Movable surface acoustic wave tweezers: a versatile toolbox for micromanipulation by Xianming Qin, Xianglian Liu, Shuo Liu, Chuanyu Zhang, Ningning Bai, Xue Li, Weidong Wang, Dan Liu, Qiqi Yang, Ruiguo Yang, Yajing Shen, Xueyong Wei

“…Owing to their device structure and bonding process, most SAW tweezers have limitations in terms of controlling the position and motion of the acoustic traps, as they generate an acoustic field with a fixed region and adjust the manipulation effects via signal modulation. To address this challenge, we propose movable SAW tweezers with a multilayer structure, achieving dynamic control of their wave field and acoustic trap positions; we demonstrate their precise manipulation functions, such as translation, in-plane rotation, out-of-plane rotation, and cluster formation, on a wide spectrum of samples, including particles, bubbles, droplets, cells, and microorganisms. …”
