The researchers even demonstrated situations where their acoustic levitator can move and reposition parts behind barriers or inside existing structures: something impossible for 3D printers and ...

Levitation is often thought of as the realm of magicians or The Jetsons, but it is technically possible. That said, the tech seems to be moving pretty slowly. Now, researchers at the University of ...

In 2018 we have almost become jaded by levitating objects. You name it and there is likely a levitating iteration, from turntables to cloud-shaped lamps. Joining that list is the LeviZen, a water ...

Levitation techniques are no longer confined to the laboratory thanks to engineers who have developed an easier way for suspending matter in mid-air by developing a 3-D-printed acoustic levitator.

Acoustic levitation has huge potential in precision manufacturing and this work paves the way for realising this opportunity,” said lead researcher Sri Subramanian.

Acoustic levitation has huge potential in precision manufacturing and this work paves the way for realising this opportunity," said lead researcher Sri Subramanian from UCL.

Acoustic levitation is nothing new here – we’ve covered 3D acoustic airbending, as well as an acoustic flip-dot display. Being able to control the power of sound waves in a handheld unit is a ...

Interested in learning more about acoustic levitation? University of Bristol research scientist Asier Marzo gave a talk on the subject at Hackaday Belgrade in 2018 that you won’t want to miss.

Scientists have long dreamed of using acoustic levitation to float objects, but there has been one big catch: you couldn't lift an object larger than the wavelength without being picky about what ...

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 ...

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 ...
