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.

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

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.

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.

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 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 ...

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

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

Levitating objects can spin, glide and collide together — no magnets or magic tricks required. Using steady streams of sound waves, engineers maneuvered hovering toothpicks, coffee granules and ...

Not so birdbrained New Caledonian crows have figured out how to move two things in one fell swoop. The adept tool users have been filmed inserting sticks into objects to transport both items at ...
