Researchers recently created an acoustic hologram, or a 3D sound field projected onto a 2D space, which can be used as acoustic tweezers, cages and twisters that manipulate objects as they levitate in ...

It may seem straight out of "Star Trek," but it's real: Scientists have created a sonic "tractor beam" that can pull, push and pirouette objects that levitate in thin air. The sonic tractor beam ...

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 ...

Scientists are continuing to experiment with levitating small objects using sonic tractor beams, or sound waves, which can suspend and move objects mid-air. A new video of the technology shows small ...

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 ...

LG wants levitating speakers in every home, but what about gravity-defying humans? Well, science could well be on its way to making us float too, thanks to a breakthrough in sonic levitation.

For several years, researchers around the world have been experimenting with sound waves that can levitate small objects. The method could significantly improve the purity and potency of drugs ...

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.

Researchers at the University of Bristol have been able to levitate objects using ultrasonic waves larger than the wavelengths of sound used by the device. This could enable touchless control of drug ...

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 ...

Scientists at the Public University of Navarra and the University of Bristol have developed an intriguing "sound tweezer" device that coordinates the tiny mechanical forces exerted by five hundred ...
