Scientists develop a highly efficient material that transforms light and moisture into precise mechanical movements and ...

Rogue Space Systems is developing orbital robots, known as orbots, that will allow for the safe removal of space debris. The UR20 cobot has an all-new joint design that ensures faster cycle times ...

Taking advantage of academic labs and professional experiences helps mechanical engineering student Ryan Ahrens refine his skills. The two Hydraulic Trainers offer the ability to construct hydraulic ...

into linear motion (movement in a straight line). These mechanisms can be found in car engines, printing machines and sewing machines. Inside many machines and engines, there are cam mechanisms.

Essentially, chemical energy is converted into mechanical motion by biasing the Brownian motion. The DNA-nanoparticle motor uses the 'burnt-bridge' Brownian ratchet mechanism. In this type of ...

"They are more than one million times faster in their mechanical motion than the former Feringa-type motors, and they can be ...
