New Princeton University video shows how virtual reality and an invisible robot can deliver digital objects to real-world ...

Science fiction could soon become a reality as researchers from the University of Minnesota have devised a new method for moving objects hands-free using ultrasound waves.

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.

Sound waves can make objects levitate straight up, and now scientists can move objects in midair.

A prediction mechanism in the brain perceives moving objects to be farther along in their trajectory than what the eyes see.

Using light or sound waves, they can lift and control the motion of a small object, like a tiny tractor beam. These are exciting developments, but have very stringent requirements to work.

With advances in robotics, science, and technology, we have made huge gains by automating repetitive tasks and using our time and resources better. From making cars to reacting in the laboratory ...

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.

The Force is With You? You may have heard that gravity isn't a force. This is true. Gravity is not a force; however, this truth leaves us with a number of questions. For example, we're commonly ...

MagLev in 3D: Moving Objects Without Touching Them Physicists have figured out how to move an object in three dimensions without the need for any physical contact, just by the clever use of magnets.
