The Capture Beams: How They Work
The ability to move objects using beam manipulation is no longer just a fantasy. Thanks to the scientific breakthroughs of Asier Marzo, this skill is now within reach for anyone interested. A team of researchers from universities in Sussex and Bristol have created the world's first levitation beams. Currently, the prototype of this exciting scientific project is showing promising early results: it can lift tiny polystyrene beads, paper sheets, and other delicate lightweight items.
