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 ...

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 ...

Engineers at the University of Minnesota have developed a new system that can move objects without making physical contact. The technique involves ultrasound waves acting on specialized surfaces to ...

Tiny magnetic microrobots spinning in liquid can generate fluidic torque strong enough to move gears and objects without any physical contact.

I would like to invent a way for me to move large heavy objects (couch, pinball machine, furniture, etc.) up and down stairs in my house by myself without putting my health at risk. I'm looking for ...
