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 ...

Rotating bodies often move in surprising ways with flips and wobbles that reveal the hidden rules of physics. Trump administration looking to sell nearly 200 commissary stores Car crashes and rammings ...

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 ...

Physicists studied crystals made of rotating objects that fragment easily, show unusual defects, and follow a new theory predicting their unique behavior. (Nanowerk News) Physicists from Aachen, ...
