The coating helps average out the speed of a rolling ball, slowing it on faster dry greens and speeding it up on sluggish, ...

Researchers manipulated water waves to move ping pong balls with a level of precision that seems straight out of a sci-fi movie.

such as small foam balls the size of rice grains. The team first conducted computer simulations before experimenting in a ...

The scientists placed a small floating polyethylene foam ball in the water tank and observed how the ball moved when the waves were produced. Balls ranging from 4.8mm to 12.7mm in diameter were ...

they moved on to real-world lab experiments involving small vats of water and various objects like foam balls and ping pong balls. By manipulating the frequency and magnitude of the waves and ...
