A study published last month by University of Minnesota mechanical engineering researchers has the potential to make waves – ultrasonic waves, to be exact – in fields like surgery and manufacturing. U ...

Jason is a classic jack-of-all-trades writer who loves to cover most topics, though gaming has always been his strong suit. After spending the better part of the past decade freelancing for various ...

While The Sims 4 is the most expansive in terms of freedom for building, it still has that pesky grid that objects snap to. Whether you’re doing something as simple as rotating items, to more ...

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 ...

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 ...
