#Sonic Tractor Beam Levitates Plastic Beads The future, apparently, is going to be loud. In what is being termed the world first sonic tractor beam,
researchers in Britain have developed an acoustic hologram that can hold, move and manipulate objects in mid-air.
Tractor beams have been a reliable staple in science fiction movies like tar Wars, where theye used to reel in uncooperative Rebel blockade runners and pesky Corellian freighters.
The tractor beam developed by the U k. team uses high-amplitude sound waves and works on a much smaller scale.
Hence the tractor beam effect. Similar freestanding haptic holograms have been developed previously, but without the precision required to hold an object in place
The sonic tractor beam could have some interesting applications down the line, according to the research team.

But those vehicles aren't designed to operate alongside other cars and trucks on the highway.
The Inspiration Truck has been licensed by the state of Nevada to do just that share the roads.
Autonomous trucks could provide several advantages for the trucking industry. They could dramatically reduce the chance for human error,
The savings in fuel costs would come from the truck's ability to accelerate and decelerate more gradually than humans normally do.

#Real-life Sonic'Tractor Beam'Can Levitate Objects Using Sound waves It may seem straight out of"Star trek,
Scientists have created a sonic"tractor beam"that can pull, push and pirouette objects that levitate in thin air.
The sonic tractor beam relies on a precisely timed sequence of sound waves that create a region of low pressure that traps tiny objects that can then be manipulated solely by sound waves,
And in 2014, researchers at the University of Dundee in Scotland showed that acoustic holograms that act like a tractor beam could theoretically suck in objects."
But figuring out the exact pattern of sound waves to create this tractor force is difficult,

#European Researchers Create Acoustic Tractor Beam t was an incredible experience the first time we saw the object held in place by the tractor beam.
The tractor beam crated by Marzo and his colleagues uses high-amplitude sound waves to generate an acoustic hologram
The tractor beam works by surrounding the object with high-intensity sound and this creates a force field that keeps the objects in place.

Automated System Lets Trucks Convoy as One A recent demonstration involving two trucks tethered by computer control shows how automation
A pair of trucks convoying 10 meters apart on Interstate 80 just outside Reno, Nevada, might seem like an unusual sightot to mention unsafe.
But the two trucks doing this a couple of weeks ago were actually demonstrating a system that could make trucking safer and much more efficient.
While the driver in front drove his truck normally, the truck behind him was operated partly by a computernd it stuck to its leader like glue.
When instructed to do so the computer controlled the gas and brakes to pull to within 10 meters (roughly three car lengths) of the truck ahead.
The computer then kept the two trucks paired at this precise distance, as if linked by some invisible cable,
until the system was disengaged. If the truck in front stopped suddenly, the one behind could have reacted instantaneously to avoid a collision.
Most automobile companies are working on full vehicle automation, but they need to overcome significant challenges before they can deploy those technologies (see riverless Cars Are Further Away Than You Think.
since the system is automated only partially (the driver behind still steers, with the aid of a camera that shows the view ahead of the truck in front).

The trucks were fitted with technology developed by a startup called Peloton Tech (elotonis The french word for platoon.
and computers connected to each truck central computer. Video screens in both cabs show the drivers views of blind spots around the two vehicles.
Joshua Switkes, CEO of Peloton Tech, says the fuel savings are 4. 5 percent for the front truck and 10 percent for the rear truck.
This could amount to $100, 000 each year. or truck companies, these savings are enormous, Switkes says.
In theory, more trucks could be tethered virtually together this way, although the initial plan is to connect only two.
The prospect of two trucks driving so close together under computer control may raise concerns among other drivers,
