Scientists develop concept for feedback-controlled optical tweezers.These tweezers made of highly focused laser light can grab cell clusters in a controlled manner and rotate them in any direction.

Objects in space tend to spin -- and spin in a way that's totally different from the way they spin on earth. Understanding how objects are spinning, where their centers of mass are, and how their mass ...

Astronomers have spotted what is likely the "largest spinning object" ever discovered, and its rotation could hold important clues about how galaxies develop. The whirling structure, located 140 ...

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, ...

People can learn to distinguish rotating objects by the way they echo sounds, in echolocation techniques inspired by bats. Article Title: Effectiveness of time-varying echo information for target ...

The convenient and non-contact mapping of operational deflection shapes is a specialty of Polytec's Laser Scanning Vibrometers. With Polytec's new Optical Derotator now also rotating objects such as ...
