If you've ever watched a flock of birds move in perfect unison or seen ripples travel across a pond, you've witnessed nature's remarkable ability to coordinate motion. Recently, a team of scientists ...

Researchers have found that exposing a certain class of particles -- micron-sized beads endowed with a special magnetic sensitivity -- to a rapidly alternating, rotating magnetic field causes them to ...

In the supplemental material the experimental setup is shown (see top image), which is designed to make the individual iron-coated polymer particles rotate. The particles are called Janus particles ...

(A) Fabrication process of the shaftless propeller-like millirobot, including positive structures’ fabrication by 2-photon polymerization (2PP), negative mold fabrication and casting process of the ...

By analysing six years of spacecraft data, researchers found that Saturn’s cusp is consistently shifted to the side. Instead ...

The powerful magnetic field belonging to the sun is generated far beneath the visible surface.
