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 ...

Today’s news from the world of Awesome Science comes from the University of Tokyo, where a team has been levitating and controlling objects using sound. Here’s the video: As the video points out at ...

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 ...

Scientists have been able to use the power of sound to levitate small items — including insects and fish — for decades. But now researchers in Switzerland have figured out how to move objects around ...

Scientists are continuing to experiment with levitating small objects using sonic tractor beams, or sound waves, which can suspend and move objects mid-air. A new video of the technology shows small ...

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.

This is a very popular video on the internet right now. It shows this awesome set up that uses sound to levitate very low density and small objects. I think this is a great opportunity to talk about ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo can levitate things with just ultrasound. Jan. 7, 2014— -- The kids at Hogwarts may have been able to make feathers float by shouting out "Wingardium ...

Theoretical physicists at the University of St. Andrews have created 'incredible levitation effects' by engineering the force of nature which normally causes objects to stick together by quantum force ...

Although scientists have been able to levitate specific types of material, a pair of UChicago undergraduate physics students helped take the science to a new level. Third-year Frankie Fung and ...
