A giant rotating filament of the cosmic web may be the largest spinning structure ever seen, and could help reveal how galaxies form.

July 25 (UPI) --A research team led by engineers with the University of California San Diego has shown off a robotic hand that can rotate an object in its palm using touch-based sensors rather than by ...

Hubble images from December 2025 show interstellar object 3I/ATLAS releasing two narrow jets of material as it moves away from the Sun, raising questions about rotation and activity ...

Scientists develop concept for feedback-controlled optical tweezers.These tweezers made of highly focused laser light can grab cell clusters in a controlled manner and rotate them in any direction.

As the cosmic visitor 3I/ATLAS moves away from the outer solar system, it leaves behind a trail of scientific data that reads ...

While there are now a number of robotic hands that can grasp objects, it's usually impossible to change a grasped object's orientation within the hand without releasing it. A new robotic hand is able ...

Objects in space tend to spin -- and spin in a way that's totally different from the way they spin on earth. Understanding how objects are spinning, where their centers of mass are, and how their mass ...

If you’ve ever played with tops, you know that some spin easily while others wobble. Ever wonder why? The answer has to do with rotational inertia, a property shared by all rotating systems. Sometimes ...

We can test the quality and freshness of fruits and vegetables with our fingers, and even industrial robots have been performing successfully at tactile applications for years. But how is it possible ...
