Seattle Ultrasonics unveiled the C-200 ultrasonic chef's knife at CES, which vibrates at over 30,000 times per second to create cleaner cuts with reduced friction. The vibrations are imperceptible to users but make the knife behave as if it's sharper than it physically is. The technology aims to improve cutting precision and reduce effort in food preparation.
