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 ...

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 ...

Recently, a research team led by Prof. WANG Yingjian at Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), proposed an efficient method to implement Fourier ...

In a sleek new video, Boston Dynamics seems to be hinting at a future for its high-tech robots: putting them to work in settings where heavy labor is required. In the latest demo of the bipedal robot ...

It's not nearly powerful enough to pull in the Millennium Falcon, but four groups of physicists have independently come up with the same basic idea for a real-life tractor beam. The laser beam the ...

Tighter integration between CAD and CAE is an ongoing trend -- one we've been hearing more about as engineering organizations call out for solutions to address mounting product complexity and ...
