With electrification rapidly moving from niche to necessity, the real test now is to develop EV technology that works as ...

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 ...

The idea of building a machine from isolated parts, each with its own setup and software, no longer fits how modern automation works.

Researchers have discovered that ferroelectric fluids can harness an overlooked transverse electrostatic force (TEF) to rise over 80 mm, without magnets or high voltages. By exploiting the fluid's ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Scientists have struggled to create synthetic materials that can sense and respond to their environment with the precision needed for advanced robotics and smart devices. A key ...
