Mechanical engineers have devised a diagnostic platform that uses sound waves to spin an individual drop of water up to 6000 revolutions per minute. These speeds separate tiny biological particles ...

In 2018 we have almost become jaded by levitating objects. You name it and there's probably a levitating iteration on the market: turntables, Bluetooth speakers, cameras, lightbulbs, clocks, and even ...

It's the sound of water droplets falling one after another, maybe from a leaky faucet or through a cracked ceiling. It's the kind of sound that can keep you up all night. University of Cambridge ...

Researchers showed that using sound waves to levitate droplets of water in midair can improve the detection of harmful heavy metal contaminants such as lead and mercury in water. In a new study, ...

This blue-glowing water is being spun around by nothing but sound waves. Reaching speeds up to 6,000 RPM, this centrifuge forms the basis for a new type of inexpensive, point-of-care biomedical test.
