Along with personal jetpacks for every man, woman, and child (sure, why not), levitation is one of those conveniences that sci-fi has long promised us but has yet to deliver, other than magnetically ...

A pair of researchers didn’t need a Harry Potter spell to levitate multiple objects at once. They just needed the power of sound waves. The duo started by building two arrays, each featuring 256 tiny ...

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 ...

"Do not levitate the spoon; that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth. There is no spoon." - para. The Matrix (1999) But what if there is a spoon? Or some other object. You can't just ...

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.

In the perhaps not so distant future, surgeons could perform a range of medical procedures all without touching the patient, thanks to advancements in 'acoustic tweezers'. Surgeons won't be shrunk and ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
