A team of researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have been working on a way to move objects without any contact! They developed a way to manipulate objects using ultrasound waves.

In 2018, Arthur Ashkin won the Nobel Prize in Physics for inventing optical tweezers: laser beams that can be used to manipulate microscopic particles. While useful for many biological applications, ...

Researchers have discovered a new method to move objects using ultrasound waves, opening the door for using contactless manipulation in industries such as robotics and manufacturing. University of ...

For the first time, physicists have simulated what objects moving near the speed of light would look like — an optical illusion called the Terrell-Penrose effect. When you purchase through links on ...

In the hugely popular Netflix series 'Stranger Things', the mysterious character called 'Eleven' had the power to move objects with her mind, without touching them. While such a thing in real life is ...

How gravity causes a perfectly spherical ball to roll down an inclined plane is part of elementary school physics canon. But the world is messier than a textbook. Scientists have sought to ...

It might sound like science fiction, but it’s pure physics. A new experiment has shown what Albert Einstein predicted over 60 years ago — objects moving near light speed appear oddly twisted or ...
