Rotating bodies often move in surprising ways with flips and wobbles that reveal the hidden rules of physics. Dodgers great Clayton Kershaw ends his career unaware at first that he won the World ...

Shannon Pruden receives funding from National Institutes of Child Health and Human Development and National Science Foundation. Karinna Rodriguez does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive ...

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 ...

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 ...

Physicists have uncovered the fascinating world of “rotating crystals” — solids made of spinning particles that behave in strange, almost living ways. These odd materials can twist instead of stretch, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mattresses are supposed to last for years, but they can become uncomfortable if you never flip or rotate your mattress.

Cats love to groom themselves almost as much as they love to sleep, spending up to one-quarter of their waking hours cleaning their fur. The secret to their self-cleaning success? The spines on their ...

Attorneys for a Chicago TV station employee detained by federal agents Friday dispute accusations from the Department of Homeland Security that she was taken into custody because she threw objects at ...
