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.

Magnetic attraction Magnetic levitation of living material was first demonstrated at the end of the 20th century. In these pioneering studies, researchers guided the assembly of small magnetic objects ...

Magnetic levitation is not just a cool trick for sculptures; it has practical applications in various fields. For example, maglev trains use this technology to float above the tracks, reducing ...

While using magnets to make objects levitate isn't anything new, scientists have gained enough control over magnetic forces to where they can now make single living cells levitate.

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

Maglev: An abbreviation for magnetic levitation, referring to systems that suspend and propel objects using magnetic forces.

Feb. 16 (UPI) --A pair of undergraduate physics students at the University of Chicago have developed a new way to levitate objects. Most levitation methods rely on light or magnetic fields, but ...

Physicists at the California Institute of Technology have designed a method that theoretically could levitate and propel objects using only light waves. The team believes that the method would ...
