Levitating food could soon be floating straight into your mouth (and it tastes sweeter too!)
High-frequency soundwaves can be tuned to make delicious objects float
Scientists say that levitation even makes the food taste sweeter
There is a catch - the object must be no larger than the size of a pea

Put the cutlery down. Food could soon be levitating into our mouths.
Researchers have found that high-frequency soundwaves can be tuned to make delicious objects float.
And scientists at the University of Sussex say the process even makes it taste sweeter.
There is a catch though - the food must be no bigger than a pea.

Researchers have found that high-frequency soundwaves can be tuned to make food float
Dr Marianna Obrist, who works at the university, told The Times: 'It's more like something you would use when you just want a taste.'
The process sees a small object trapped in a cage of soundwaves which leave it weightless.
Chi Thanh Vi, also from the University of Sussex, says levitation makes food taste different.
'Sweet tastes feel more intense... and bitter tastes people find quite pleasant,' he said.
This feature could come in handy when trying to persuade children to eat their greens or take bitter medicine.
Dr Thanh Vi said: 'If you make it fun, if you make floating medicine, sure they would go and give it a try.'
