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 ...

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, ...

The new smart sensor uses embedded information to detect motion in a single video frame. A new bio-inspired sensor can recognise moving objects in a single frame from a video and successfully predict ...

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 ...
