RALEIGH, North Carolina, Dec. 7 (TNSres) -- North Carolina State University issued the following news release:
Researchers have developed a novel device that couples magnetic fields and kirigami design principles to remotely control the movement of a flexible dimpled surface, allowing it to manipulate objects without actually grasping them - making it useful for lifting and moving items such as fragile objects, gels or liquids. The technology has potential for use in confined spaces . . .
