Researchers at the University of Sussex have developed SoundBender, a technology that bends sound waves around obstacles to acoustically levitate objects above them.

If you're a bicycle commuter, then it's entirely likely that you regularly encounter a pothole, etc that makes you say "Why doesn't the city DO something about this?". Well, first they have to know about it – and the Flare headlight is designed to tell them.

Scientists have created a sensor that could someday keep babies from dying of sudden infant death syndrome. It takes the form of a flexible rubber tube filled with a solution of water, oil and particles of everyone's favorite wonder material, graphene.
-
Researchers at the University of Sussex have disproved the existence of certain kinds of axions, particles that are a leading candidate for dark matter, and while it may send physicists back to the drawing board, the hunt can be more focused in future.

Smartphone screens seem to crack at the slightest breeze, but researchers at the University of Sussex might have a hardier alternative. A new material made of graphene and silver could lead to touchscreens that are tougher, easy to manufacture, more responsive, less power-hungry, and even bend.
-
Fog screens, where images are projected onto a fine mist, could open up the possibility of interactive holograms. To make those projections a bit clearer, a team at the University of Sussex has found a way to make shape-shifting fog screens that stays in focus and let multiple users work together.

Neuroscientists at the University of Sussex claim to have found the first evidence of a higher state of consciousness. From wakefulness down to a deep coma, consciousness is measured by the diversity of brain signals, and under the influence of psychedelics, that diversity jumps to new heights.
-
Researchers have invented a material that can bend, shape and focus sounds that pass through it, creating new possibilities for medical imaging, personal audio and other acoustic devices. The precisely engineered surface is a metamaterial, a new class of materials that seem to do the impossible.
-
Researchers at the University of Sussex claim to have produced a method that removes lasers from quantum logic gates, thereby removing one of the largest stumbling blocks to producing a workable, full-sized quantum computer system

ScienceWe've already seen sound waves being used to levitate small numbers of foam balls, but scientists have recently taken things a step further. They've created a low-res "display" in which the pixels are actually physical spheres that float and can be individually rotated in mid-air.
-
Researchers have developed a sonic tractor beam that generates acoustic holograms through the manipulation of high-amplitude sound waves. These acoustic holograms, which can take various shapes, are able to pick up and move small objects, like polystyrene beads.
-
ScienceWe've already seen interactive technologies that create smells or tactile sensations on command. Now, however, British scientists have developed a system that they claim can be used to make users experience specific emotions – and it does so without even touching the person.
