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 ...

The new levitating rotor works because of its rotational symmetry. Unlike plates that move up and down in varying magnetic fields, the spinning rotor stays within a constant magnetic flux. This ...

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 ...

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 developed a novel device that couples magnetic fields and kirigami design principles to remotely control the movement of a flexible dimpled surface, allowing it to manipulate objects ...

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 ...

One day soon, we may get to see the flying cars we were promised as citizens of the 21st century. Swiss researchers have figured out how to levitate objects and particles in mid-air—they can even move ...

CHICAGO (Reuters) - U.S. scientists have found a way to levitate the very smallest objects using the strange forces of quantum mechanics, and said on Wednesday they might use it to help make tiny ...
