Dr. Who's Sonic Screwdriver Exists

Phoghat writes "Television's favourite Time Lord could not exist without his trusty sonic screwdriver, as it's proved priceless in defeating Daleks and keeping the Tardis in check. Now Doctor Who's famous cure-all gadget could become a reality for DIY-ers across the world, say engineers. Ultrasonic engineers at Bristol University and The Big Bang: UK Young Scientists and Engineers Fair are uncovering how a real life version of the fictional screwdriver — which uses sonic technology to open locks and undo screws — could be created."

Title: "...Sonic Screwdriver Exists."
Summery: "...could be created."
I call shenanigans.

Which would accomplish absolutely nothing, since "summery" is a word.

Please correct the slug

It's "Doctor Who", not "Dr. Who".

Yes, I'm ignoring the Cushing films. Just like most people do.

In The Sea Devils, he used it to detonate landmines around the aquatic silurian climbing onto the beach. The only reason it wasn't used to kill or main there was that he was detonating them a little distance away. He's also used it to cut through metal, and various other materials. It's pretty clearly usable as a weapon.
