There are no physical structures in this video. The “walls” guiding the particles through the liquid are actually a complex combination of sound waves created by a new technique called a shadow waveguide.

Moving Tiny Things ... With Sound

This new biomedical device manipulates particles as small as DNA (2.5 nanometers) with sound-induced electric fields. Four transducers send sound waves into a substrate that creates electricity as it vibrates, producing patterns of electric-acoustic waves
