And that’s the reason this 3D printed coaxial lighting setup was built — to make quality photographs of small objects a snap. The objects of [Peter Lin]’s photographic desire are coins, no ...

But a device built by a team in Spain and the U.K. can levitate and manipulate small objects in air, and possibly in water and human tissue, using high-frequency sound waves.
