Levitating sensors are moving from science-fiction imagery to practical laboratory tools, promising a new generation of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

One day we may not only see, hear and touch devices, but also feel the objects shown on them at the tip of our fingers. Thanks to levitation, 3-D items will be created using floating pixels Levitation ...

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 ...
