Over the past several decades, scientists have developed optical and acoustic tweezers. Using light or sound waves, they can lift and control the motion of a small object, like a tiny tractor beam.

Astronomers have recently been taken aback by the discovery of an object in space that seems to be defying the common laws of celestial movement by orbiting backwards. This surprising discovery, which ...

An object spotted with help of citizen scientists was moving so fast through the Milky Way that it could escape the gravity of the galaxy and reach intergalactic space, new research has found. Likely ...

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 in Switzerland have found a way of using sound waves to manipulate objects in disordered environments such as liquids. Instead of trapping the objects as conventional optical and acoustic ...

Describing the movement of objects in 3D space requires an understanding of mathematics. ' Moving Objects in 3D Space ' is a website that uses animated slides to explain how to mathematically ...

WASHINGTON -- Researchers have developed a way to capture moving objects with the unconventional imaging method known as ghost imaging. The new method could make the imaging technique practical for ...

Locomotion, the ability to move from one place to another, is an essential survival strategy for virtually every organism. Adapting to the unpredictable terrain they run into, cells, fungi and ...

How we focus our attention before we even see an object matters. For example, when we look for something moving in the sky, our expectation would be very different if the object is a bird flying ...

Every year, hundreds of thousands of injuries affect professionals in the moving industry, from herniated discs to carpal tunnel syndrome. If you work in this field, you likely know how common these ...
