Researchers Using Soundwaves to Levitate and Control Objects
Science sometimes borders on the occult, and this is no exception. The work is from the University of Tokyo, and it’s much more controlled than you think. In the video below, you can see the manipulation of small particulates moving in three dimension using an array of speakers. It’s like Disney’s Fantasia, but in real life.
From the researchers’ YouTube description:
In the present study, we considered extended acoustic manipulation whereby millimetre-sized particles were levitated and moved three-dimensionally by localised ultrasonic standing waves, which were generated by ultrasonic phased arrays.Our
