Acoustically levitated lock and key grains
We present a scheme for generating shape-dependent, specific bonds between millimeter scale particles, using acoustic levitation. We levitate particles in an ultrasonic standing wave, allowing for substrate-free assembly. Secondary scattering generates shape-dependent attractive forces between parti...
