Scientists have taken a cutting-edge development from 2018 and pushed it even further, creating a levitation ray capable of lifting microscopic material. At the heart of this innovation is a ...

Researchers may have unlocked the potential for gravity-free technology. A new study published in Applied Physics Letters highlights how researchers have made huge breakthroughs in magnetic levitation ...

The levitation of microscopic objects in vacuum and the control of their movements while they are suspended was first demonstrated several decades ago. Since then, various research groups have been ...

Researchers at the Quantum Machines Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) are studying levitating materials—substances that can remain suspended in a stable position without ...

Advances in technology have led to the miniaturization of many mechanical, electronic, chemical and biomedical products, and with that, an evolution in the way these tiny components and parts are ...

Ultrasonic levitation is by now a familiar trick: one or more ultrasonic transducers create a standing wave, and small objects can be held in the nodes of this standing wave. With a sufficiently large ...
