Finally! Someone Invents a Real Sonic Screwdriver

Some hoopy froods at Dundee University have developed a real sonic screwdriver.

The Dundee University researchers have created a machine which uses ultrasound to lift and rotate a rubber disc floating in a cylinder of water.

It is said to be the first time ultrasound waves have been used to turn objects rather than simply push them.


And of course they had to mention Doctor Who:

"Like Doctor Who's own device, our sonic screwdriver is capable of much more than just spinning things around."
