Nonreciprocal multi-body interactions activate liquid state of acoustically levitated particle ensembles
Nina M. Brown, Heinrich M. Jaeger
Nonreciprocal forces are often a consequence of asymmetry in the properties of the interacting objects. However. even if all objects are identical and isotropic, and the pairwise i…

Tunable mechanical properties and air-based lubrication in an acoustically levitated granular material
Nina M. Brown, Bryan VanSaders, Jason M. Kronenfeld +2
Cohesive granular materials are found in many natural and industrial environments, but experimental platforms for exploring the innate mechanical properties of these materials are…

Direct measurement of forces in air-based acoustic levitation systems
Nina M. Brown, Bryan VanSaders, Jason M. Kronenfeld +2
Acoustic levitation is frequently used for non-contact manipulation of objects and to study the impact of microgravity on physical and biological processes. While the force field p…
