Researchers have detailed the physics behind a phenomenon that allows them to create spin in liquid droplets using ultrasound ...

When new dishwasher models are tested, the typical test load doesn't actually include any plastic objects As water won't always play ball and dry evenly from every surface, dishwasher designers ...

Sound doesn’t just help us hear music or communicate underwater—it can also be used to move objects without physically ...

By pouring the mixture into molds before it dries, we can make plastic objects in many shapes, like bowls and cutlery. We also discovered that heating up the plastic after it dries not only ...

But the world is messier than a textbook. Scientists have sought to quantitatively describe the much more complex rolling physics of real-world objects. They have now combined theory, simulations ...

Materials such as glass, metal and paper are quite easy to recycle. Certain types of plastic can be recycled too. Objects that aren’t recycled are taken to landfill sites. These are places where ...
