📄 Published Article Title: Experimental and numerical study of acoustic streaming in mid-air phased arraysDOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s44384-025-00040-7 This study examines acoustic streaming generated by ultrasonic phased arrays in air, combining experimental measurements with numerical modeling to provide a quantitative understanding of sound-driven flows. The results contribute to fundamental acoustics research and support the development of applicationsContinue reading “Our Paper Published in npj Acoustics”

We are pleased to share that Mr. Keita Okano, a master’s student at the University of Tsukuba, has been recognized at the Multiphase Flow Symposium 2025, held at Kobe University from September 3–5, 2026. His presentation received both the: Presentation Title “Rotational and mixing dynamics of an acoustically levitated droplet using phased array” Authors: Mr.Continue reading “Keita Receives Best Presentation Award”

On May 2nd, 2025, we held the Ultrasonic AsPIRE Conference at the University of Tsukuba—a small, focused workshop with 14 participants dedicated to the exploration of ultrasonic manipulation and wave-based interfaces. Although modest in scale, the event was intentionally scheduled to align with other international conferences, including CHI 2025 in Yokohama, which made it convenientContinue reading “2025 Ultrasonic AsPIRE Conference”

On Saturday, October 26th and Sunday, October 27th, 2024, our laboratory participated in JST Science Agora, Japan’s largest public science communication event. We presented live demonstrations of our research, including: We had many enthusiastic visitors and enjoyed exciting interactions with people of all ages. It was a fantastic opportunity to share our work and sparkContinue reading “Our Lab at JST Science Agora 2024”
