A liquid metal droplet can generate rotation without gears, changing how motors may work in soft and flexible machines.

In a world chasing cleaner energy, a group of physicists may have uncovered a surprising new way to make power: by tapping into the Earth's own rotation. That's right, researchers at Princeton ...

For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to geothermal heat. Now a small group of physicists says Earth’s own magnetic ...

A new angular accelerometer has been designed to achieve accurate measurements of rotational or torsional accelerations. The Model 7302BM4 accelerometer is suited to measure irregularities in shaft ...

The Multi-Axes Rotation and Tilt Device was fabricated by Neuro Kinetics, Inc. to specifications provided by the Graybiel Laboratory for a series of spatial orientation experiments. This device is ...

Planetary scientists have overturned a longstanding scientific tenet and provides new insights into how convection controls much of what we observe on planets and stars. A new study by UCLA planetary ...
