Researchers at the University of Konstanz have uncovered a new mechanism of sliding friction: resistance to motion that ...

Motion systems expert Michael Everman discusses why design engineers are opting to bundle multi-axis precision into drop-in ...

Component manufacturers can minimize energy use by working efficiency tactics into the design and intended operation of mechanical components. Tactics for moving an asynchronous system from IE3 to IE4 ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...
