Researchers say making the gears on a micrometer scale paves the way for the smallest on-chip motors in history. The post New ...

The Applied Physics Laboratory, led by Dr. D. Dobrynin, was formed in 2011, and is focused on the fundamental and applied research of “cold” atmospheric pressure plasmas. Primary research areas ...

Purdue University students take part in activities at the newly-created physics labs in Indianapolis. Purdue University photo/Alisha Willett INDIANAPOLIS —Purdue University is expanding hands-on ...

Particle physicists have chosen to base the proposed International Linear Collider on superconducting technology developed by an international collaboration centred on the DESY lab in Germany. The ...

You're sitting in physics class, working on a traditional problem involving forces and acceleration, when you start to wonder where these terms even came from. Were they just dreamed up to bring ...

A new linear/rotary dual-motion actuator has been designed to provide incremental rotational and linear movement of the output shaft. The Size 14 actuator has two degrees of freedom of movement that ...

The easiest way to design a linear-motion system is to add components one by one. Then, step-by-step calculations relate input to power dissipated moving a load in a specific amount of time. Linear ...

Linear motors and ball-screw drives seem to hog the limelight when it comes to linear motion. Rack-and-pinion drives, another type of linear motion device, get no respect. But they are perfectly ...

Breaking into the world of auto racing is easy. Step 1: Buy an expensive car. Step 2: Learn how to drive it without crashing. If you’re stuck at step 1, and things aren’t looking great for step 2 ...
