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 ...

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, ...

A study published last month by University of Minnesota mechanical engineering researchers has the potential to make waves – ultrasonic waves, to be exact – in fields like surgery and manufacturing. U ...

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 ...

Fleury also sees 3D printing applications for wave momentum shaping, for example to arrange microscopic particles before solidifying them into an object. Ultimately, the researchers believe their ...

Many of the nation’s fire departments and rescue squads provide technical rescue services to their respective communities. Working in the world of rescue, a member understands that rescue is the ...

I would like to invent a way for me to move large heavy objects (couch, pinball machine, furniture, etc.) up and down stairs in my house by myself without putting my health at risk. I'm looking for ...

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 ...

Volunteer astronomers sifting through infrared images from a retired NASA telescope have spotted a faint object racing through space at roughly 1 million miles per hour, fast enough to eventually ...
