The levitated ant tried crawling in the air and struggled to escape by rapidly flexing its legs, although it generally failed because its feet find little purchase in the air. The ladybug tried flying away but also failed when the field was too strong to break away from.

Wow thats so cool, its really interesting that the lady bug couldn't fly out of the sound wave field. Hopefully they keep going with this cause then right before i die i can either have a floating car or i can just float around my house which would actually be alot cooler

Interesting, but they have actually been levitating animals since like 1995. Indeed, they have levitated larger animals than ants. I've seen them levitate frogs.

Interesting. So they are using ultrasound waves? So maybe the belief that the Egyptians used sound to move objects is not so impossible, something hypothesised upon well before this research was conducted

"The ant and ladybug appeared fine after 30 minutes of levitation, although the fish did not fare as well, due to the inadequate water supply, the scientists report."

Is it just me, or is that sentence totally hilarious?
