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.
Scientists have created a new kind of time crystal using sound waves to levitate tiny beads in mid-air. These particles ...
A metamaterial is a composite material that exhibits unique properties due to its structure, and now researchers have used one featuring a small sawtooth pattern on its surface to move and position ...
Physicists at New York University in the US have built a new kind of ...

Physically, sound is just pressure moving through a medium. If you harness that pressure correctly, you can actually push things around using nothing but sound. That's exactly what researchers at ...
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 ...
PROVIDENCE — CEO Kim Gavin’s company, BLUEiQ, specializes in what’s called underwater sensing, using sound to study marine life, map the sea floor, or identify underwater objects or vehicles. Gavin ...
