MIT has developed a new system for sorting cells that involves special "traps" in a silicone layer bonded to a microscope slide. Cells with specific properties are then levitated out of their traps using the pressure of a beam of targeted light from a low-cost laser. A flowing fluid then sweeps the selected cells off to a separate reservoir
