The Future Is Noisy! Scientists Make Things Levitate And Move In Space Using Sound Waves

Jan 3, 2014

The essence of levitation technology is the countervailing of gravity. Given enough energy, scientists in Tokyo can move anything they want using sound waves.

Ever thought about using sound to move things? Well, scientists at the University of Tokyo have mastered the Force and they’re now able to make things levitate and move in space…. Without magic! They use sound waves. And given enough energy, they can move anything they want using this technique.

Acoustic levitation is not new as shown in this other amazing experiment. But the Japanese scientists went a step further: they developed a method to move objects in 3D space! Amazing, no?

Here’s another demonstration video:

Soon, we will fly!
