May 3 (UPI) --It turns out it's easier to find heavy metal contaminants in water when droplets are levitated using sound waves. Trace amounts of heavy metals are difficult to measure, but even tiny ...

You’ve probably seen those experiments where scientists are able to levitate foam balls, or tiny drops of water, using nothing but ultrasonic sound waves. It’s utterly mesmerizing to watch something ...
