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 ...

When you want to move an object from one place to another, you usually grab it with your hands or a robotic arm. But what if you want to move something you cannot touch without damaging or disrupting ...

Humans can ‘feel’ hidden objects under sand from 2.76 inches away, revealing the surprising power of remote touch.

Physically, sound is just pressure moving through a medium. If you harness that pressure correctly, you can actually push things around using nothing but sound. That's exactly what researchers at ...

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 ...
