The contactless manipulation of liquid drops and delicate solid objects by acoustic levitation methods has numerous applications in chemistry, pharmacy, biology, and microelectronics. Over the last years, new advances in acoustic levitation enabled the controlled motion of levitated objects in 3D, but undesired oscillations may hinder certain applications that require a high precision in …
The objective of this proposal is to develop novel ultrasonic devices for levitating objects in mid-air. This objective will be pursued through a collaboration between researchers from the Institute of Physics/University of São Paulo, the Laboratory of Ultrasonics at the Polytechnic School/University of São Paulo, and the visiting researcher Asier Marzo from University of Bristol. The app…
The main objective of this research project is to develop new kinds of acoustic levitation systems, with the purpose of levitating and transporting the levitated object. The development of acoustic levitators will be carried out using the Finite Element Method, which will be applied to simulate the dynamic behavior of ultrasonic transducers and to calculate the acoustic radiation force th…

The main objective of this project is to implement holographic algorithms for suspending and manipulating multiple particles in acoustic levitators consisting of arrays of ultrasonic transducers. The algorithm to be implemented should be able to calculate the emission phase of all transducers, allowing not only the levitation of multiple particles, but also the independent manipulation of…
We propose the implementation of dynamic models for predicting the behavior of a spherical object in acoustic levitation systems based on arrays of low-power ultrasonic transducers. This project involves both the implementation of numerical models as well as experimental measurements using a high-speed camera. We will also simulate the acoustic pressure distribution generated by an array …
This project aims to develop an acoustic levitation system for the contactless manipulation of liquid drops in air. At first, the linear acoustic theory and the equations describing the acoustic radiation force on particles much smaller than the acoustic wavelength will be reviewed. Then, the Finite Element Method will be employed to simulate the potential of the acoustic radiation force …
