You know those really cool floating objects in ads? They’re all dissected, and you think, “How did they do that?” Well, we know how they do it, so for this week’s Shooting Challenge, some ...

Scientists have long dreamed of using acoustic levitation to float objects, but there has been one big catch: you couldn't lift an object larger than the wavelength without being picky about what ...

The bizarre technology is called acoustic levitation, and it's poised to deliver advances in pharmacology, chemistry more broadly, and even robotics.

The final result lets you create a photo where objects look like they're floating, falling or people are hovering. When editing in Levitagram, you control brush size and its coarseness.

When objects float on water the force keeping the object afloat is called upthrust and this balances the weight of the object. When something is placed in the water, the water moves out of the way ...

Reproduce this classic physics scenario with your own car (or public transportation) to learn how fluid dynamics can cause tethered, floating objects such as balloons to behave in unexpected ways.

YALE / BROWN (US) — A scientist’s breakfast sparked new research into how floating objects—like pieces of cereal and tiny colloidal particles—form patterns. Andong He, a postdoctoral student at Yale ...
