It’s possible to defy gravity using sound waves, magnets or electricity, but today’s methods can’t hoist heavy items high in ...

Austrian researchers have made an acoustic levitation breakthrough allowing them to levitate and manipulate several objects at once.

Using sound to get objects to float works well if a single particle is levitated, but it causes multiple particles to collapse into a clump in mid-air. Physicists at the Institute of Science and ...

Like an invisible pair of tweezers, sound waves can be used to levitate tiny objects in the air. While DIY acoustic levitation kits can be found online, the technique has important applications for ...

A new acoustic levitation technique combines sound waves and electric charge to control multiple particles without physical ...
