A unique material structure allows researchers to manipulate objects underwater without touching them directly.

Dajun Zhang's metamaterial features a small sawtooth pattern on its surface, which allows adjacent speakers to exert different forces on the material based on how the sound waves reflect off it.

Zhang hopes his work will lead to new uses in medicine and underwater robotics.
