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 ...

Finding could have applications in acoustic-levitation-assisted 3D printing, mid-air chemical synthesis and micro-robotics ...

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 ...

In the world of magic, levitation looks like a simple spell. In movies and TV series, characters lift objects with a wave of ...

Turns out the key to making things lighter than air is…light! California scientists think they’ve found a way to make objects levitate using concentrated light — a theory that could even propel ...

Levitation is often thought of as the realm of magicians or The Jetsons, but it is technically possible. That said, the tech seems to be moving pretty slowly. Now, researchers at the University of ...

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.

Specially designed materials enable objects of different sizes to be levitated and manipulated with light, thanks to new research. Researchers at Caltech have designed a way to levitate and propel ...

BEIJING: Chinese scientists have successfully achieved the first direct mass measurement of a free floating object, confirming that it is a planet ...
