For the past fifteen years, researchers have been exploring the use of acoustic levitation in various applications. These ...

We’ve all seen acoustic levitation, it’s one of the scientific novelties of our age and a regular on the circuit of really impressive physical demonstrations of science to the public. T… ...

Untethered acoustic levitation device enables frictionless, high-speed movement of delicate components in industrial applications.

Scientists have developed a new levitation device that can hover a tiny object with more control than any instrument that has come before.

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 ...

Researchers have come up a means to levitate a 2-inch solid polystyrene sphere using ultrasonic acoustic waves pitched above the frequency a human can hear.

Presentation #3pBA5, "Acoustic levitation device for probing biological cells with high-frequency ultrasound" by Brian Patchett, will be take place on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2015, at 2:00 p.m. in ...

Near Field Acoustic Levitation (NFAL) is being used in the form of ultrasonic bearing technology. 1 A gas is used in the levitation gap of the bearing which provides lubrication on the journal. High ...

Acoustic levitation has been known for almost a century, but the first demonstration of a technique that could raise and hold and object in place was first demonstrated successfully in July, 2013 ...

Using a technique that has possible applications in acoustic cloaking, sonic levitation, ultrasonic imaging, and particle manipulation, scientists at the University of California Berkeley claim to ...

In every levitation device made to date, the distance between the sound emitter and the reflector had to be carefully calibrated to achieve resonance before any levitation could occur.
