Tiny magnetic microrobots spinning in liquid can generate fluidic torque strong enough to move gears and objects without any physical contact.

Galaxies, planets, black holes: to most people, everything about our Universe sounds and feels enormous. But while it's true ...

Engineers at the University of Minnesota have developed a new system that can move objects without making physical contact. The technique involves ultrasound waves acting on specialized surfaces to ...

Researchers have developed a technique to move objects around with a jet of wind. The new approach makes it possible to manipulate objects at a distance and could be integrated into robots to give ...

Researchers have developed a novel device that couples magnetic fields and kirigami design principles to remotely control the movement of a flexible dimpled surface, allowing it to manipulate objects ...

When an object in space appears to be racing at nineteen times the speed of sound, it instantly jumps from routine data point to global headline. The claim that NASA tracked such a hyperfast visitor ...

In a lab in London, newborn chicks took the first steps of their life and unwittingly became part of solving one of the brain’s bigger mysteries. In a simple test, researchers placed the downy animals ...
