By Jack Loughran Published Monday, January 22, 2018 Researchers at the University of Bristol have developed an enhanced acoustic tractor beam using acoustic vibrations that could potentially be used to transport humans https:\/\/eandt.theiet.org\/content\/articles\/2018\/01\/enhanced-acoustic-tractor-beam-could-be-used-to-levitate-humans\/<\/a> This discovery opens the door to the manipulation of drug capsules or micro-surgical implements within the body. Container-less transportation of delicate larger samples is now also a possibility and could lead to levitating humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr Mihai Caleap, senior research associate, who developed the simulations, explained: \u201cIn the future, with more acoustic power it will be possible to hold even larger objects. This was only thought to be possible using lower pitches making the experiment audible and dangerous for humans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n BY KASTALIA MEDRANO <\/a><\/strong>ON 1\/22\/18 AT 11:32 AM EST Researchers from the University of Bristol became the first to overcome that size limitation, paving the way for levitating humans. They created a system of rapidly fluctuating acoustic vortices\u2014basically, tiny sound tornadoes, with a “twister” of loud sound surrounding an inner, and completely silent, core, according to the press release. A paper describing the research was published in the journal Physical Letters Review<\/em>. https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/physics-breakthrough-sound-tornado-acoustic-tractor-beam-levitate-humans-786695<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oct 02, 202010<\/a> <\/a><\/a>Biology<\/a> Plants & Animals<\/a> Biology<\/a> Veterinary medicine<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n by Bob Yirka , Phys.org Very few species have been observed imitating human behavior<\/a>\u2014only orcas, apes, elephants, dolphins and magpies\u2014and now, that list has grown to include house cats. The finding comes as a surprise because cats were not thought to possess the necessary cognitive abilities to intentionally mimic the actions of other creatures. https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-10-evidence-cat-mimicking-human-behavior.html<\/p>\n\n\n\nPhysics Breakthrough: ‘Sound Tornadoes’ Can Levitate Humans With New Acoustic Tractor Beam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
