Researchers have come up with a new way to cause objects to levitate using sound waves alone, an impressive feat of mixed-reality technology.

Believe it or not, levitating objects aren't just the stuff of science fiction and magic shows. There are actually many different forms of levitation including something called acoustic levitation ...

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

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 ...

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.

A new study shows that using the world's most powerful acoustic tractor beam, it's possible to stably levitate objects larger than the wavelength of sound.

Acoustic Levitation Breakthrough After Scientists Create Self-Correcting Levitation Device The device could work even when blocked by other objects.

Scientists have found a way to levitate the very smallest objects using the strange forces of quantum mechanics, and said they might use it to help make tiny nanotechnology machines.

A study on the levitation technique titled " High-speed acoustic holography with arbitrary scattering objects " has been published in the journal Science Advances.

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 nanotechnology machines.
