Lol, that's like the commercial for Heineken where the Dutch are hired to search for life on Mars or the one where they clone beer. Give the Dutchies some high tech and they use it for fun and games.  8)

I have no idea how this works though. Even with their explanation.  :P

Well, apparently, just like atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate, they trap these beads, although these are suspended in a solution to begin with, and then the lasers fluctuate and push them around. You know what's missing, though. It seems they forgot the part where it lowers the shape automatically - the 'timer' so to speak.
