In a new preprint study, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University claim sound can be used to predict an object's appearance -- and its motion. The coauthors created a "sound-action-vision" data set ...

Researchers have come up with a new and improved way to levitate objects using sound waves alone, an impressive feat of mixed-reality technology that could pave the way for some seriously futuristic ...

In laboratories from Brazil to Munich, researchers are learning to grab matter with sound alone, sculpting ultrasonic waves into invisible “hands” that can lift, push, and rotate objects without a ...

Amanda D. Hanford, at Pennsylvania State University, is taking the introductory steps to make acoustic ground cloaks. These materials redirect approaching waves around an object without scattering the ...

Researchers in Switzerland have found a way of using sound waves to manipulate objects in disordered environments such as liquids. Instead of trapping the objects as conventional optical and acoustic ...

Scientists have been able to use the power of sound to levitate small items — including insects and fish — for decades. But now researchers from Switzerland have figured out how to move objects around ...

Although their technique employs a method similar to laser trapping in biology, adaptable to a wider range of particle sizes and materials. The ability to move objects without touching them might ...
