In laboratories from Brazil to Munich, researchers are learning to grab matter with sound alone, sculpting ultrasonic waves ...

A team of researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have been working on a way to move objects without any contact! They developed a way to manipulate objects using ultrasound waves.

Researchers have succeeded in directing floating objects around an aquatic obstacle course using only soundwaves. Their novel, optics-inspired method holds great promise for biomedical applications ...

Using a newly devised technology, scientists can move small objects without touching them, meaning we're one step closer to Jedi being real.
