  • British engineers have developed a device that is capable of moving and manipulating objects using only ultrasonic sound waves . So now you can really own a Sonic screwdriver like Dr Who (However, not sure
    if you can use the tool to get himself out of many sticky situations like the Hero himself.)



    They said that the technology could eventually lead to devices that can undo screws , assemble electronics and putting together delicate components .

    But while the Doctor's device can perform a multitude of tasks from cutting , burning , welding , sending signals , controlling the TARDIS , altering mobile phones and healing wounds , the researchers warn their real-life sonic screwdriver will have more limited capabilities .



    "We have developed a device that allows us to use ultrasonic forces to move small objects like biological cells around to sort them or to assemble them ," said Bruce Drinkwater, of the University of Bristol.
