Although we are currently eying Mars as a possible destination for a human expedition, it doesn't mean we are going to be landing on a hospitable planet. It's freezing cold, dry, humming with radiation and there's nothing but dust. Lots and lots of dust.
Now scientists at the University of Vermont think they have a solution to the dust problem: acoustic levitation, a method that could -- quite literally -- lift dust off any desired surface.
