Ultrasonic levitation — the practice of creating a standing wave between two ultrasonic sources and positioning lightweight objects such that they can float in the pressure minimums between them — has ...

For those that haven’t heard, ultrasonic levitation is a process by which two or more ultrasonic transducers are set opposite to each other and excited in such a way as to create a standing wave ...

Scientists from the University of Tokyo are bringing us a tiny bit closer to the dream of land speeders and hover boards, employing "acoustic levitation" to make objects move in unprecedented ways.
