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 ...

This project creates a dual-spin illusion that has people scratching their heads. Using precision turning and an ...

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 ...

The work by Distinguished Professor Tsvi Tlusty at UNIST has been published in the October 2025 issue of Phys. Rev. Lett. The world is filled with rotating objects—gyroscopes, magnetic spins, and more ...

Rotating bodies often move in surprising ways with flips and wobbles that reveal the hidden rules of physics. It Sits on a Vast Haul of Mineral Wealth. Now This Arctic City Must Be Moved. Car crashes ...

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 ...

The Epic Games Store is offering another set of free games on November 6, and they're great distractions from the busy holiday season.

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 ...

An object can be set to be breakable by another objects velocity, or by click. (the script can be easily modified so that the trigger click event could be replaced with any event your game requires) ...

Soft grippers, with their high flexibility and environmental adaptability, have shown promising applications in industrial automation, medical assistance, and underwater operations. This study ...
