The world of physics was based on the trial and error of proving and disproving experiments and theories. Recently, scientists managed to visually capture an optical ...

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 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 ...

Researchers manipulated water waves to move ping pong balls with a level of precision that seems straight out of a sci-fi movie. Reading time 3 minutes Imagine hopping onto a large floatie in a lake ...

Using ultra-fast laser pulses and special cameras, scientists have simulated an optical illusion that appears to defy Einstein's theory of special relativity. One consequence of special relativity is ...

Moving any object at or near the speed of light is currently impossible. "As you get closer to the speed of light, the energy you need grows by a lot," Hornof said. We cannot generate enough energy to ...
