U.S. scientists have found a way to levitate the very smallest objects using the strange forces of quantum mechanics, and said on Wednesday they might use it to help make tiny nanotechnology machines.

STORY: A UK startup is using soundwaves to make objects levitate in midair. And London-based AcoustoFab says it's "acoustic levitation" is not just a neat trick.It could also have commercial ...

To Levitate Nano-Objects, Researchers Exploit a Force of Quantum Repulsion Discover how the Casimir effect allows nanoparticles to repel and could lead to nanoscale devices in the future.

Using sound to levitate something when there are other objects in the way has been shown for the first time by UCL researchers and could lead to advances in the manufacturing and entertainment ...

A study on the levitation technique titled " High-speed acoustic holography with arbitrary scattering objects " has been published in the journal Science Advances.

Researchers are able to make objects such as liquid droplets fly in mid-air by letting them ride on acoustic waves, the technique could also levitate a human, but not in its current form.
