Where there is water, there are waves. But what if you could bend water waves to your will to move floating objects?
Where there is water, there are waves. But what if you could bend water waves to your will to move floating objects?
NTU Singapore co-led a team of international researchers who achieved this with physics.
The scientists developed a technique to merge waves they created in a water tank. Combining the waves produced complex patterns. The patterns made twisting loops of water and swirling vortices.

These patterns drew in and trapped a floating foam ball within them. (Credit: Henan University)
