The Disney algorithm takes a solid, asymmetric object that should fall down in a second and optimizes its rotational dynamics. In practical terms, it works a bit like repositioning the wet duvet so ...

A new study finds the sedimentation of asymmetric objects in liquid is very different from that of symmetrical objects like spheres. The research may have practical applications in improving water ...

Engineers from Britain implemented a novel approach to improve how robots grip and handle fragile, slippery or asymmetric objects. The breakthrough slip-prevention method shows impressive results and ...

A new slip-prevention method has been shown to improve how robots grip and handle fragile, slippery or asymmetric objects, according to a University of Surrey–led study published in Nature Machine ...

No face is perfectly symmetrical—why should your earrings be? Handmade with a selection of vintage stones, antique objects, and semiprecious gems found on designer Grainne Morton’s travels, these ...

If you've shaken a snow globe, you've enjoyed watching its tiny particles slowly sink to the bottom. But do all small objects drift the same way and at the same pace? A new Tel Aviv University study ...

A breakthrough slip-prevention method has been shown to improve how robots grip and handle fragile, slippery or asymmetric objects, according to a University of Surrey-led study published in Nature ...
