Hold on to your wand, Harry Potter: Science has outdone even your best "Leviosa!" levitation spell. Researchers report that they have levitated objects with sound waves, and moved those objects around ...

In the new device, an array of 256 speakers, each about 1 centimeter wide, faces another, identical speaker array across a distance of 23 centimeters. The speakers emit sound waves at frequencies too ...

Scientists from the University of Chicago and the University of Bath used sound waves to levitate particles, revealing new insights about how materials cluster together in the absence of ...

Forget superconductors and magnetic fields. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have developed a way to use sound waves to levitate objects and move them around midair. When a sound wave travels ...

This is a very popular video on the internet right now. It shows this awesome set up that uses sound to levitate very low density and small objects. I think this is a great opportunity to talk about ...

Levitating objects can spin, glide and collide together — no magnets or magic tricks required. Using steady streams of sound waves, engineers maneuvered hovering toothpicks, coffee granules and water ...

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.

Scientists have been using an "acoustic levitator" to find new ways to achieve containerless drug processing. It's not a magic trick and it's not sleight of hand -- scientists really are using ...

Physicists are literally applying rocket science to the field of medical diagnostics. With a few key changes, the researchers used a noninvasive ultrasonic technique originally developed to detect ...

Scientists have figured out how to use sound waves to levitate droplets of liquid. While the phenomenon is gee-whiz cool in its own right, the technique could lead to the development of new drugs that ...

Streams of sound are now all you need to make objects dance in the air and combine. A levitation device is the first to use high-frequency sound waves to bring together floating particles and liquid ...

In 2018 we have almost become jaded by levitating objects. You name it and there's probably a levitating iteration on the market: turntables, Bluetooth speakers, cameras, lightbulbs, clocks, and even ...
