Conventional soft actuators are often limited by weak force, small displacement, and slow response. To overcome these ...

The muon mismatch was caused by calculation limits, not a new force. Improved methods bring theory and experiment into close ...

Laser light can lift and steer tiny chips in three dimensions, demonstrating a new form of propulsion for spacecraft.

A 10-year effort to measure gravity, a fundamental force in the universe, has failed to come up with a conclusive answer.

Trying to untangle a knot in a mess of strings can be frustrating and time-consuming. But not so for molecular ...

"There are literally zero robot hands deployed right now doing routine work, ... the best hands are hundreds of thousands of ...

Artificial intelligence systems based on neural networks—such as ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek or Gemini—are extraordinarily ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles – the Standard Model – must be incomplete, ...

A tiny, first-of-its-kind, nanoscale demonstration shows how we could one day send a spacecraft to another star, within a ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new technique for creating 2D materials that runs at room temperature and increases ...

A major obstacle in calculating the muon’s behavior is the strong force, the most powerful of the four fundamental forces, along with gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak force. It binds quarks ...

Scientists are exploring the possibility of a "fifth force" beyond the four known fundamental forces. This hypothetical force ...
