Researchers have detailed the physics behind a phenomenon that allows them to create spin in liquid droplets using ultrasound waves, which concentrates solid particles suspended in the liquid. The ...

At first glance, it looks like a simple setup. Then the baseball bats start spinning at helicopter-level speeds, and everything changes instantly. Objects don’t bounce, they explode, fragment, and ...

A new materials technique has taken cues from Grandma's yarn bag and cutting-edge technology, and it could see us 'solid knitting' whole furniture sets, as well as the fabrics that cover them. What's ...

One-pot recipes make preparing meals quick and easy. And one-pot 3D-printing could do the same for additive manufacturing. Now, researchers publishing in ACS Central Science have demonstrated a new ...

Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs. The ball and the water behave very differently, and it turns out that your brain has ...

Dropping objects from 1000ft sounds simple, but the results are anything but predictable. Each impact went deeper, wider and stranger than we expected. Some items sliced through the earth like knives, ...
