The ability to perceive object motion accurately while in motion oneself is a cornerstone of effective navigation and interaction with the environment. Contemporary research indicates that the brain ...

Humans can visually perceive the motion of a small object better than that of a large one. By contrast, according to a study reported in the journal Current Biology on September 5, babies under six ...

Researchers have proposed a new paradigm that should allow scientists to observe quantum behavior in small mechanical systems. Their ideas offer a new means of addressing one of the most fascinating ...

Motion created by eye movements helps the brain judge distance and movement in 3D space, offering new insights into how stable vision works.

When Isaac Newton wrote down his now-famed laws of motion in 1687, he could have only hoped we'd be discussing them all these centuries later. Writing in Latin, Newton outlined three universal ...

Researchers have provided the first clear demonstration that the theory of quantum mechanics applies to the mechanical motion of an object large enough to be seen by the naked eye. Their work ...

Young children are constantly on the move. As they run, jump, climb and tumble, they experience stability, motion and balance with their own bodies. They also observe how toys respond to their actions ...

When Isaac Newton inscribed onto parchment his now-famed laws of motion in 1687, he could have only hoped we'd be discussing them three centuries later. Writing in Latin, Newton outlined three ...
