How magnets move objects without touching
Magnets can move metal objects without even making contact—but how do they do that? In this video, you’ll learn how magnetic fields are formed, how poles attract and repel, and where we see this ...
When we hear about moving objects with electricity, most of us imagine a "pulling force." Positive and negative charges ...
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 ...
