Using ultra-fast laser pulses and special cameras, scientists have simulated an optical illusion that appears to defy Einstein's theory of special relativity. One consequence of special relativity is ...

The ability to perceive object motion accurately while in motion oneself is a cornerstone of effective navigation and interaction with the environment. Contemporary research indicates that the brain ...

Researchers have developed a technique to move objects around with a jet of wind. The new approach makes it possible to manipulate objects at a distance and could be integrated into robots to give ...

In 2018, Arthur Ashkin won the Nobel Prize in Physics for inventing optical tweezers: laser beams that can be used to manipulate microscopic particles. While useful for many biological applications, ...

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 ...
