Levitating objects is no longer sci-fi talk. Scientists have discovered they are able to levitate and move objects with sound waves.

The sound waves operate at a high frequency that humans can’t hear – but your pet dog definitely

wouldn’t like it.

They found three types of acoustical fields: one grabs object like tweezers, one

traps objects and the other uses the “eye” of a

twirling technique to keep it in place.

This could have major impact in fields such as

medicine during operations.

Turns out our bodies are engaging with music on a deeper level than we thought – more than just tapping your toes to a

favorite song.

NYU researchers have found two brain waves that automatically sync to music you are listening to – to help you better understand the piece, similar to what

happens when you listen to a conversation.

Turns out musicians are better able to follow both melody and individual notes

in a way that’s more difficult for non-musicians.

Rivet, a 360-degree content creator, brings one-a-kind venues to

your living room. Currently the

performances are available on YouTube,

but later a free app will be available to search and view all content.

They recently teamed up with Blue Note Jazz club

in NYC, including branded Google

Cardboards, to tape the concerts. Could this be a new revenue stream for musicians who perform

live?

Taking wearables to the skies! European airliner EasyJet has just

announced new smart uniforms for its crew, designed by CuteCircuit

(normal outfitters of performers like Katy Perry and U2).

They’ll have microphones to allow direct communication to pilot and crew, lights that flash and can be used in an emergency, air quality

sensors and more.

“Our crew’s primary concern is for the safety of all passengers so it is really exciting to be working on this pioneering new technology which

could transform the capability of our uniforms.” – Tina Milton, Head of

Uniform
