From the press release:
* Researchers have found a way to coax particles and droplets into precise patterns using the power of sound. The implications for printing are far-reaching.
* The scientists from the Universities of Bath and Bristol have shown that it's possible to create precise, pre-determined patterns on surfaces from aerosol droplets or particles, using computer-controlled ultrasound. A paper describing the entirely new technique, called ‘sonolithography’, is published in Advanced Materials Technologies.
