Briefings

Researchers at the University of Helsinki, Public University of Navarra, and University of Michigan successfully demonstrated an ultrasonic tube capable of physically confining and guiding matter through air, mimicking the sonic cannon technology that held the Hulk in the 2008 film. The study involved collaboration between three institutions and utilized sound waves to create a containment field, though the specific mechanism of matter transport remains unverified.

Key points

• Three institutions collaborated: University of Helsinki, Public University of Navarra, and University of Michigan.
• An ultrasonic tube was used to confine and guide matter through the air.

Context

This research represents a technological advancement in using sound waves to manipulate physical matter, directly inspired by the fictional sonic cannon technology used to restrain the Hulk in the 2008 movie.

Limitations

The study demonstrates the feasibility of sonic confinement but does not provide data on the specific mechanism of matter transport, nor does it confirm the tube's ability to guide matter through the air.
