Discover the mind-blowing science behind a screw that works both clockwise and counterclockwise. Learn how its unique design makes direction irrelevant and explore the fascinating physics behind it!

This is the code I created to operate a single-phase excitation stepper motor. Without an argument it moves one step clockwise, and if you pass true as an argument it moves one step counterclockwise.

MOLINE, Ill. — We've all likely seen at least one tornado in our lifetime, whether it be via a video or in person. One thing the majority of those tornadoes have in common? The direction in which they ...
