The robotic arm could help farmers harvest crops even in increasingly challenging conditions, such as rising temperatures.

Matt LaFever has reported on California’s North Coast in print and radio for nearly a decade. A Humboldt State grad and ...

However, creating affordable robotic arms that can gracefully and accurately navigate the thick network of branches and trunks of plants can be challenging. In a recent study, researchers developed a ...

Instead, the dynamic trio are working out together and setting an example that very much aligns with the Jim Harbaugh way: Khalil Mack, Derwin James and Daiyan Henley working out together, via ...

Carmakers have to add sounds to electric vehicles for the safety of pedestrians, but determining what noise an EV should make involves both science and art.

Physicists build microscopic 'trampoline' to improve sound wave control in microchips by University of Konstanz edited by Gaby Clark, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes ...

“In the universe, an absolute vacuum is rare, and most of the universe is very low-density high-temperature plasma,” said ...

Remotely moving objects underwater using sound Acoustic metamaterial enables pushing, rotating, and more complex movements in 3D Date: May 20, 2025 Source: Acoustical Society of America Summary: A ...

Sound waves have been used for everything from mapping the seafloor to breaking apart kidney stones. Thanks to a unique material structure, researchers can now move and position objects underwater ...

The Science of Audible Enclaves We found a new way to send sound to one specific listener using self-bending ultrasound beams and a concept called nonlinear acoustics. Ultrasound refers to sound waves ...

When two ultrasonic beams of slightly different frequencies, such as 40 kHz and 39.5 kHz, overlap, they create a new sound wave at the difference between their frequencies – in this case 0.5 kHz ...

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 ...
