Understanding the physical mechanisms that enable a droplet to be displaced by propagating an acoustic wave along the substrate on which it lies is the hurdle that has just been overcome by researchers. They have succeeded in detailing the structure of the ultrasounds that propagate in a droplet and which lead to its oscillation and then its displacement.
