What do puzzles, gymnastics, writing and using maps all have in common? They all rely on people’s ability to visualize objects as they spin, flip or turn in space, without physically moving them. This ...

Physicists studied crystals made of rotating objects that fragment easily, show unusual defects, and follow a new theory predicting their unique behavior. (Nanowerk News) Physicists from Aachen, ...

It sounds bizarre, but they exist: crystals made of rotating objects. Physicists from Aachen, Düsseldorf, Mainz and Wayne State (Detroit, U.S.) have jointly studied these exotic objects and their ...

Abstract: Eddy currents induced by rotating magnetic dipole fields can produce forces and torques that enable dexterous manipulation of conductive nonmagnetic objects. This paradigm shows promise for ...

Some of the many paths that can be taken through the mathematical space SO(3), corresponding to sequences of rotations in real space. Credit: Tsvi Tlusty. If you twist something — say, spin a top or ...

As sure as the brain is prone to distraction, it can also return its focus to the task at hand. A new study in animals by ...

Now that artificial intelligence has mastered almost everything we do online, it needs help learning how we physically move ...

From stirring milk in your coffee to fearsome typhoon gales, rotating turbulent flows are everywhere. Yet, these spinning currents are as scientifically complex as they are banal. Describing, modeling ...
