Dr Cizmars team discovered a technique that allows for the radiant force(辐射力) of light to be changed and to use the negative force to draw out certain particles（小颗粒） Dr Cizmar says that even though it is a few years away from practical use. the technology has huge potential for medical research In particular. the tractor beam is highly selective in the particles it can attract. so it can pick up particles that have specific characteristics. such as size or composition. in a mixture Eventually, this could be used to separate white bloodcells. for example, Dr Cizmar told BBC News It has been a primary plot design in science fiction TV programs and movies to allow objects like spaceships to be trapped in a line of light But Dr Cizmar said this particular technique would not eventually lead to that A transfer of energy happens in the process On a microscopic level that is OK. but on a large level it would cause huge problems A large objectcould be destroyed by the heating, which results from the massive amount of energy necessary to pull it.24.
