Researchers build acoustic tractor beam - A team of researchers with members from the U.K., Scotland and the U.S. has built a functioning acoustic tractor beam in a lab—one that is able to pull objects of centimeter size. In their paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters, the team describes how they built their device, why it works and to what applications it might be put. http://ow.ly/2GsWOV

Can't see an acoustic tractor beam working too well on the Enterprise, but I like the subsea implications :-)
