Levitation is no longer just the realm of magicians, with engineers dabbling in ways to suspend objects in midair using magnets, heat flow or sound waves. Unfortunately, it usually only works with ...

A team of mechanical engineers from the University of Bristol has developed an easier way for suspending small matter in the air: they built an acoustic levitator with readily accessible electronics ...

There are few things cooler than the way in which scientists are able to get objects to levitate above the ground. But while many of the recent levitating technologies we’ve seen involve ...

Scientists from the University of Chicago and the University of Bath used sound waves to levitate particles, revealing new insights about how materials cluster together in the absence of ...
