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.

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Some scientific experiments conducted by experts are so unique that they often astonish everyone witnessing them. These experiments even produce visuals or results that seem straight out of science ...

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Ever wonder how much wind it takes to knock you over? Well there is actually a mathematical equation we can use to calculate the wind speed needed to move objects and people. That ...
