Researchers Create Real Tractor Beams
Gadgetank writes "Researchers out of the Australian National University have created a device, working in conjunction with other necessary devices, that can literally move small particles with light. And only light. The way it works is by shining a hollow laser beam around some tiny glass particles. The researchers heat the air around the particles, and therefore cause the dark center of the beam to remain cool."
This story is a reflection caused by bouncing the other story from a mirror using hollow laser beams.
Intron: the portion of DNA which expresses nothing useful.
So when a deer in the road moves toward me because I shine my headlights down the road, my headlights are attractor beam?
There, fixed it for you.
Ain't the English language a funny thing? Tugboats push instead of tug/pull. People park in driveways. And so on.
Not really, no. Tugboats primarily pull, although they can also push. And a driveway is a path which you drive on in order to reach the house. You could park your car on a driving-range, too, but that wouldn't make the name inappropriate.
I bet you're a lot of fun at parties.
