The new material can be manipulated very fast by light.

“The discovery of new material properties usually depends on our ability to control the chemical composition of the material,” says Ulrich Höfer, professor of experimental physics at Philipps-Universität Marburg and visiting professor at the University of Regensburg".

The new material can be manipulated very fast by light. The system shoots electrons to the layer with very high accuracy. Then that layer is created by molecules. That looks like soap acting as antennas that transport radiowaves and even photons against that incoming energy waves.  This kind of optical system can create standing waves, that deny the radiation from reaching the material's surface. This thing can use in high-powerful particle accelerators, where radiowaves and photons kick electrons forward. 

"When electrons (spheres) in the surface of a topological insulator are accelerated by strong light waves according to their band structure (lowest cone), Floquet-Bloch replicas (higher cones) of the original band structure are formed. Videos of the band structure with sub-cycle time resolution reveal for the first time the formation dynamics (cones in the background).

Optical manipulation opens new roads to energy production and nanotechnology. Light-base molecular manipulation or so-called "dry manipulation" means that the system pushes particles like atoms by using laser light. 

That thing makes it possible to create a chemical environment with very high accuracy. These kinds of production technologies are suitable to use in space. The photon-based optical systems can manipulate atoms and molecules in vacuum and zero-gravitational conditions if that system is mounted in satellites. The small-size satellites can turn into remote-control laboratories. The system makes the product and then the return capsule brings it to the Earth. 

Regular chemical manipulators require a medium like water where those atoms and molecules hover. But optical systems can manipulate atoms and molecules without any mediums. So the system can inject only atoms that the system needs for products that could be ultra-complicated molecules in the vacuum chamber. The system can follow the process by using remotely-controlled microscopes. 

And it can drive those atoms together. The system can manipulate those atoms in vacuum and zero-gravitational conditions with ultra-high accuracy. There is no danger that atoms or molecules touch something that the system cannot control. 

Another thing is this kind of system can use in high-power. And highly accurate maser technology. The system stresses material by using electric impulses. And, then that new nanomaterial sends the photons to the laser element highly accurately around that stick. The system can operate with very high accuracy. 

If the system reacts to light and electromagnetic radiation like a membrane it creates sound waves or pressure waves. This thing can make new types of flying robots possible. The pressure waves make those systems to flight by using the pressure waves. Or the robot can move underwater by using oscillating membranes. 

New lightning-fast nanomaterial can revolutionize sound reproduction, but there are many more targets where that system can use. The new material that looks a little bit like soap-lipide molecules can give a very sharp pressure signal to the selected object. This allows for the manipulation of extremely small-size objects. That kind of ultra-fast material can also make new types of tweezers. The system can use those things for the assembly of the nanomachines. 

The ultra-fast reacting material can form a membrane that moves with very high accuracy. And that thing can use in loudspeakers and intelligent counter-wave-based noise-deleting systems. The highly accurate moving membrane also can create counter noise, that denies the sonar signals to reflect from the surface. This is the power of acoustic versions of the very rapidly manipulating material.
