Scientists Use Acoustic Levitation to Improve the Drug Development Process

Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory have discovered a way to use sound waves to levitate individual droplets of solutions containing different pharmaceuticals. While the connection between levitation and drug development may not be immediately apparent, a special relationship emerges at the molecular level. It’s one cool process if you ask me.

Using Acoustic Levitation to Make Droplets Float in Mid-Air

Odd : Laughing Squid (8 months ago)

Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory are developing an acoustic levitator that can suspend droplets of liquid in mid-air (video). Speakers at the top and bottom of the device create sound waves that interfere with each other, ... Read Post
