In a levitation breakthrough, scientists have created a virtually frictionless, macroscale levitating disk that requires no ...

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 ...

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 ...

With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a ...

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 ...

A London based start-up is using tiny speakers to keep objects and liquids floating in mid-air. Besides being pretty cool to look at, CNN’s Nick Valencia explains the commercial and scientific ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
