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.

Engineers have developed robots that can work independently and cooperatively to move unwieldy objects like a couch. In simulations, the robots were successful even when tasked to move an object ...

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. Magnetic Levitation, MagLev for short, is the ...

Who leads the way when ants carry really big things? Scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science offer an answer.

Learn how objects move on different surfaces with these interactive learning resources for KS2 Science students aged 7-11 from BBC Bitesize.

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.

Magnetic shape-shifting surface can move stuff without grasping it A “ferromagnetic elastomer” sheet can bulge and bend under magnetic influences.

Researchers have created new artificial intelligence software that gives robots the speed and skill to grasp and smoothly move objects, making it feasible for them to soon assist humans in ...

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 ...
