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.

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 ...

Using sound to get objects to float works well if a single particle is levitated, but it causes multiple particles to collapse into a clump in mid-air. Physicists at the Institute of Science and ...

NYU researchers created a new type of time crystal suspended in mid-air Sound waves move floating beads in rhythmic patterns, defying basic physics. The experiment reveals motion and energy transfer ...

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) started this week and has been dominating the news with revelations of gadgets that are exactly as irrelevant to you as they were last year and the year before and ...

Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.
