Using sound to levitate something when there are other objects in the way has been shown for the first time by UCL researchers and could lead to advances in the manufacturing and entertainment sectors ...

The idea has been floated previously to use sound waves to make objects levitate. Research confirmed it, but as you may expect, this requires a direct path of waves to the object – interrupt them by ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Levitation might seem like a superpower out of science fiction. But ...

The development in acoustic tractor beams comes from the University of Bristol. Acoustic tractor beams work on the basis of controlling sound in order to hold particles in mid-air. In a sense the beam ...

STORY: A UK startup is using soundwaves to make objects levitate in midair. And London-based AcoustoFab says it's "acoustic levitation" is not just a neat trick. It could also have commercial ...

A study on the levitation technique titled "High-speed acoustic holography with arbitrary scattering objects" has been published in the journal Science Advances. Researchers from the University ...

We should talk about the Levitating X Kickstarter campaign, something its creators call "tech art." The crowdfunding endeavor is trying to sell us on the idea of a levitating object future. Backers ...

Scientists have overcome a major hurdle in the quest to levitate large objects with ultrasound. Previously, researchers had struggled to float an object larger than the wavelength without being very ...

CHICAGO (Reuters) - U.S. scientists have found a way to levitate the very smallest objects using the strange forces of quantum mechanics, and said on Wednesday they might use it to help make tiny ...
