Levitating particles with silent sound waves | Science News

Inside a new levitation device, ultrasonic sound waves can push and pull several particles in different directions simultaneously. This kind of technology could someday allow completely hands-off construction of small electronics or manipulation of medical devices inside the body.

How to blow a bubble (with physics) | Science News

To see how fast one would need to blow to make a bubble, researchers directed gas jets at a layer of soapy fluid in the lab. They found that the jets must reach a minimum speed, which depends on factors including the size and position of the gas-squirting nozzle, before they make bubbles. Read more: […]

Robotic gecko grippers work in low gravity | Science News

Gecko feet have inspired the latest in space gadgetry. A team from Stanford and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have built a new robotic gripping tool that latches onto objects in low gravity environments. Its adhesives are based on the toepads that geckos use to scale walls. Read more: http://ow.ly/d79430dbosF Story Lisa Grossman Production Helen Thompson […]

How do birds move air in flight? | Science News

Using a high-speed camera, scientists captured the swirling vortices produced by a slowly flying bird. Surprisingly, they found that the vortices rapidly dissipated. The unexpected effect suggests that scientists need to rethink methods for calculating the lift produced under such conditions.
