Although scientists have been able to levitate specific types of material ... “Magnetic levitation only works on magnetic particles, and optical levitation only works on objects that can be polarized ...

For several centuries now, scientists have known that ... reveals that light can behave in an even stranger "superliquid" state, in which light particles flow around objects with no friction ...

Happily, the same 3-D printing process used to produce an object can simultaneously generate an internal, invisible tag, say scientists. These internal tags, which the researchers have dubbed ...

Yet as a roughly two-dozen-member collective, they can flow around obstacles ... a configuration, they have to be stiff and strong enough to hold weight and pack a punch. “Making this vision a reality ...

Have you ever been so focused on a task you're doing that you lose all track of time and place? It's a concept academics call "transformative state or flow." It's of particular use in the field of ...

Since there are no internal electronics, the slime robot can't operate alone. Doctors would have to use imaging to locate an object and guide the slime to the right location. When it gets there ...

Fortunately, clues at the surface, such as earthquakes and ground deformation, can indicate ... different from the flow patterns of water. However, even though their internal flow patterns ...

Scientists have demonstrated how to levitate a variety of objects -- ceramic and polyethylene ... driven gases,' such as gases driven by heat flow, can differ from ordinary gases," he added.
