Physicists at NYU have discovered a new type of time crystal—an exotic state of matter whose particles rhythmically “tick” while levitating on sound waves.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Levitation might seem like a superpower out of science fiction ...

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 ...

Researchers have come up with a new and improved way to levitate objects using sound waves alone, an impressive feat of mixed-reality technology that could pave the way for some seriously futuristic ...

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 have built a levitation device to help them make precise measurements of chemical reactions (Anal. Chem. 2020, DOI: 10.1021/acs.analchem.0c00929). Levitating droplets on sound waves allows ...

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 ...

What does the future of construction look like? Autonomous machines buzzing around a building site? Giant 3D printers extruding walls and floors? Looking forward even farther, researchers at the ...
