The metasheet demonstrates its ability to move objects – in this case, rotating Petri dishesYinding ChiScientists at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have developed a magnetic "metasheet" capable of moving objects and liquids without the need for robotic arms or grippers.The device consists of a sheet made of elastic polymer with magnetic microparticles embedded...
NASA Observes Black Hole Jet Colliding with Mysterious ObjectOne of the most peculiar galaxies near the Milky Way has presented astronomers with a new and intriguing mysteryKnown as Centaurus A, this galaxy hosts a supermassive black hole at its center that emits enormous jets of plasma. These jets, traveling through intergalactic space, have collided...
Scientists have accidentally discovered a strange particle that has mass when it moves in one direction, but is massless while moving in anotherDepositphotosScientists have accidentally discovered a particle that has mass when moving in one direction but lacks mass when traveling in another. Known as semi-Dirac fermions, these particles with peculiar behavior were first...
