Scientists find a way to interact with atoms via sound

http://www.nbcnews.com/science/scie...rations-n201366

Scientists at my old university of all places. Martin Gustafsson was my teacher in "Surface and Nanophysics," so that's pretty cool I guess.

That does sound rather interesting. A new form of picotech possibly? Thanks for the info

Technically sound is a manipulation/interaction of atoms to begin with.

Meh, probably at the molecular level but not really at the atomic level.

Looks like there are using vibrations in a solid to elicit a reaction from an atom that is, perhaps, larger than some molecules (probably necessary as they are reaching the limits at which sound can propagate through a substance...there is actually a limit to how small these things can get because there is nothing through which to propagate the acoustics).

I see this as fairly useless. It is interesting because "we did it" but I do not see this taking off or being used as a data retrieval process (as the author seems to imply).
