Researchers from Flinders University and the University of Adelaide studied a group of women in South Australia who have experienced anorexia nervosa for over 10 years but have not responded well to traditional treatments, are reluctant to change their practices or seek help for their disordered eating practices.

Researchers at the University of Washington and Moscow State University demonstrated the technique by trapping 3-mm glass beads in vortex-shaped beams of ultrasound. By steering the beams electronically, or by simply moving the ultrasound transducer, they directed the beads along complex 3D paths within a water tank and in the bladders of live pigs.
