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 ...

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 ...

A stapler that slides towards your hand before you reach for it. A lamp that tilts forward when you start to read. A chair that quietly adjusts to ease your back. The scenarios sound like science ...

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 ...

Grasping and transporting objects is one of the most critical tasks for robots in a variety of fields. This task requires ...
