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 laboratories from Brazil to Munich, researchers are learning to grab matter with sound alone, sculpting ultrasonic waves into invisible “hands” that can lift, push, and rotate objects without a ...

Inspired by how brainless lifeforms such as starfish and slime moulds move around, physicists have constructed 'odd' objects that autonomously roll, crawl and wiggle over unpredictable terrain, ...
