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 ...

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 ...

Researchers in Tokyo have put a new twist on the use of sound to suspend objects in air. They've used ultrasonic standing waves to trap pieces of wood, metal, and water – and even move them around.

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 ...

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 nanotechnology machines.

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 ...

Sound can levitate objects of different sizes and materials through air, water and tissue. The futuristic technology to assist with medical procedures has been developed by scientists working at the ...

Forward-looking: Japanese researchers have developed a novel technique to levitate and manipulate small objects from reflective surfaces using only sound waves. In testing with a 3-millimeter ...

No smoke, no mirrors, just sound was all scientists needed to levitate objects in midair. NPR reports that researchers at the University of Tokyo have discovered a new levitation technique through ...

An oil-coated belt run like a vertical treadmill can levitate a cylinder held next to it. Now researchers have developed a mathematical model to explain this goopy form of anti-gravity. Previous ...
