Scientists Use Very High-Frequency Sound Waves to Move Around Suspended Objects

According to a latest study, the researchers Yoichi Ochiai, Takayuki Hoshi and Jun Rekimoto have recently authored a paper which has been titled as 'Three-dimensional Mid-air Acoustic Manipulation by Ultrasonic Phased Arrays'.

It has been revealed by the sources that through this paper the scientists are trying to explain that how sound waves can be used in order to move objects in space.

The basis of the above mentioned study is acoustic levitation, which is not a new concept, according to the experts. But so far, the study has only been used in order to suspend objects in the air and not to move them there.

The above mentioned paper has been submitted last month in the Cornell University's science site ArXiv. The researchers have tried their level best to explain in their paper that they use very high-frequency sound waves in order to suspend ultra-light objects. After the suspension the scientists are also able to move around the ultra-light objects by manipulating the waves.

It has been confessed by the researchers that this type of movement of the ultra-light objects was not possible in the earlier experiments.

They explain that the movement of these objects was not possible earlier as sound waves were bounced off a solid surface.
