Researchers have succeeded in directing floating objects around an aquatic obstacle course using only soundwaves. Their novel, optics-inspired method holds great promise for biomedical applications ...

Citizen Scientists working with NASA's Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project have helped discover an object moving at a staggering speed, estimated to be around 1 million miles per hour. To put that into ...

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 ...

When astronomers first spotted a faint, fast-moving object racing through the outer Solar System in mid-2025, few expected it ...

Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces from Imperial College London. Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and ...

Researchers at Science Tokyo have developed a neural inverse rendering method that accurately reconstructs the three-dimensional (3D) shapes of moving objects using only three standard projection ...

When you were five, you probably spotted your best friend running at “a million miles an hour” when they beat everybody at the local athletics meet. You probably haven’t seen anything that fast snice.

Using ultra-fast laser pulses and special cameras, scientists have simulated an optical illusion that appears to defy Einstein's theory of special relativity. One consequence of special relativity is ...

Citizen scientists have helped to identify an incredibly fast-moving object in space, which is traveling at such a speed that it will shoot out of the Milky Way and head out into intergalactic space.

In 2018, Arthur Ashkin won the Nobel Prize in Physics for inventing optical tweezers: laser beams that can be used to manipulate microscopic particles. While useful for many biological applications, ...
