The demonstration in the video may seem like MAGIC! but it’s real: scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory are employing a levitation machine that uses sound waves to ...

Two undergraduate physics students at the University of Chicago recently led the discovery of a new method for levitating objects using heat. Fourth-year Frankie Fung and third-year Mykhaylo Usatyuk ...

Although scientists have been able to levitate specific types of material, a pair of UChicago undergraduate physics students helped take the science to a new level. Third-year Frankie Fung and ...

People have been able to levitate small objects using sound for years. But applications for the technique are severely limited because scientists hadn’t figured out how to control and manipulate the ...

Splash a few drops of water on a hot pan and if the pan is hot enough, the water will sizzle and the droplets of water seem to roll and float, hovering above the surface. The temperature at which this ...

In the world of magic, levitation looks like a simple spell. In movies and TV series, characters lift objects with a wave of their hand or a successful use of force. However, in the real world, ...

Researchers report achieving self-sustaining and long-term levitation of millimeter-sized droplets of several different liquids without any external forces. To get the droplets to levitate, they use ...

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 ...

Magnetic levitation control systems employ electromagnetic forces to suspend objects without physical contact, thereby eliminating friction and wear. Core to these systems is the precise regulation of ...

WASHINGTON, July 18, 2023 – Self-sustained levitation of millimeter-sized droplets was recently discovered by researchers at Tyumen State University, in Russia, during an experiment to select ...
