The crystal structure of these atomically thin materials makes them extremely sensitive to mechanical strain – tiny stretches or compressions of the atomic lattice. In principle, this strain ...

Stanford University researchers have developed a key experimental device for future quantum physics-based technologies that borrows a page from current, everyday mechanical devices. Reliable, compact, ...

EtherCAT is an open, realtime, and deterministic Ethernet fieldbus standard widely regarded as one of the best industrial networks to date. One reason for its growing use is that it's several orders ...
