Sonic-Powered Levitation Allows for Zero-G Drug Research
It’s not special effects: researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois have developed a way to cancel out the effects of gravity, allowing liquids to be held without containers. The effect is created using sound waves emitted by an acoustic levitator — an instrument designed by NASA for simulating microgravity.
Watch the video. It’s the coolest thing you’ll see all week.
